Default Why are multiple engines different?

Actually, from a standing start, the cocked nose wheel and
one engine act like a chock and you can't even move in a
Baron or Duke. I have never tried it in other makes or
models, except the King Airs and 1900's which taxi just fine
on one engine.
I have not tried this either, taxi in a fast circle as large
as possible diameter, cut the power, straighten out while
still rolling and bring in the power to keep some speed up
in order to taxi.
I much prefer to just coast off the runway, stop when clear
and call for a tow. Done that a half dozen times at home
base and while on trips a couple of times.

Hey, why strain the airplane, line guys need work too.
