Abstract: A method for operating a compaction machine is disclosed. The method includes monitoring, by a traction sensing device, a front traction associated with a front driving member. The method further includes monitoring, by the traction sensing device, a rear traction associated with a rear driving member, the front driving member and the rear driving member being propelled through at least one motor. The method further includes comparing, by a controller coupled to the traction sensing device, the front traction with the rear traction to obtain a compared traction. The method further includes identifying, by the controller, a condition in which one of the front driving member or the rear driving member spins higher than the other when the compared traction exceeds a predefined threshold traction.
