offroadphotog, are your tires loaded? |
No they aren't loaded. Just the wheel weights and the straps. I had decent traction but would slip around when un-hooked from the trailer. As soon as I hooked up I had 100% traction

Its the best $80 I've spent. The first time I had to snowplow the drive I spent more time getting off to push because it kept getting stuck than actually blowing snow. I had close to zero traction. I got the straps, was kinda skeptical, I had planned to add a weight bucket but threw the straps on first and I cannot believe the amount of traction I have. I pretty much couldn't get stuck and even went accros the lawn pushing/blowing snow trying to get stuck and never did. No need to load tires or even add weight in the back at this point.

Yeah I don't think I am going to try it without the blower. The front tires were barely on the ground. A cutting brake would have been nice..... I am going to have to make a weight for the front for moving the trailer in the summer.
