Good tip, another suggestion is to leave the trailer hooked to the truck but drop your tongue jack and raise it as high as it can go. This will help flatten out the approach angle of your rear ramp. Obviously you have to have a jack strong enough to support the weight of the rear of your truck and enough travel and lift with your jack... (To be clear you're not going to lift the rear wheels of the truck You're just taking the weight off of the rear suspension.) I purchased my tractor in November so it was set up for winter operations. My trailer is a 30' enclosed trailer. The trailer set up for snowmobiles so there's traction on the rear door. However, those same traction strips can catch the blower and hang you up if you're not at the correct angle...
Thanks for commenting, you are correct, the flatter the approach the easier it loads but unfortunately when it’s slippery, the added incline on the wood deck can also work against you. I used to haul the trailer nose high to make it a flatter approach but honestly this trick with the strap is the fastest and easiest way I have found to overcome the lack of traction when I have the chains on. THANKS FOR WATCHING!
what's the best front tire you run for snow? I noticed last year that when I was making turns, I was sliding with the blower on the front of mine didn't really want to put chains on it If I could help it. got chains on the rear, 200 lbs and a pretty level drive... just the turning is annoying any tips would be greatly appreciated thanks🍻🍻🍻🍸🍸🤪
@@timothymasarik12 I,m just running the stock turf tires it came with. I have to slow way down to a crawl sometimes to keep from sliding. If traction is an absolute must, I raise the blower to add weight to the front end then back up and make another few small passes to make the turn. Thanks for watching.
