stuck in snow and ice

I've wedged big stones underneath the front of my tires to get unstuck before.

 

2 bags of kitty litter on passenger floor

 

Is it all level ground? Is it typically deeper new snow or old packed snow? Are you having trouble getting underneath loaded trailers? If you’re having trouble, how much distance do you typically need help with?

 

If this is very common you may have to break down and construct some small 3 inch high “ramps” to run up on (inside tires) and quickly thrown on singles chains. For limited yard work you don’t need to spend too much time re-tightening and what not. After you do this several times you can get them on in probably 5 minutes or less.

 

I use these to get out of slippery docks. They aren't meant to drive with for very long, but should work for a rail yard.

 

Someone here i guarantee will use that as a place to go 1 and 2.

 

If you do salt or kitty litter, do yourself a favor don’t toss a bog on your floor. Buy 2 five gallon buckets to put it in. You’ll thank me later

 

Sand, kitty litter, pea gravel, anything you can put down to get a little grip will help.

Of course, getting actual winter tires is going to be by far the easiest, if not the cheapest.......
