Hence the need for locking differentials. Usually each wheel has 50% of the applied power for a total of 100%. You get one wheel in a soft spot and it spins while the other just sits there. The spinning wheel has 100% power and the other has 0%. Lock the diff and now both wheels have a guaranteed 50% of the power for a total of 100%. But remember to unlock the diff before getting too close to the ditch because with neither wheel being able to give part of the power to the other while making a turn you really can't turn very well!
