A computer for a vehicle has a processor and memory storing instructions executable by the processor to apply rotational power to one wheel of a vehicle and apply brake to three other wheels of the vehicle in response to activation of one-wheel dig mode of the vehicle by a human operator of the vehicle. The instructions include instruction to, in response to detection of completion of a hole in ground under the one wheel in the one-wheel dig mode, cease application of rotational power to the one wheel of the vehicle.
