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.

The real problem is not moving a heavy trailer but STOPPING a heavy trailer

That's what I was thinking. You might get into trouble on any more than a gentle slope.

That is the one good thing about living around here, unless you are by a river or stream, it is almost dead flat. Just step on the clutch and almost instantly come to a stop.

Yeah that was the sketchy part for sure. Thankfully with all the snow, the trailer stopped on its own. But like Yamaguy stated, I live in Illinois, there are no elevation changes

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
