Hi guys. Sometimes there are moments when the four-wheel drive and locking rear differential can not do the job. Thinking hard to also install differential lock on the front axle. Or install a winch.

I would start easy and put the axle of your trailer all the way to the back, so a good portion of the weight rests on the tractor. Right now, you're just pulling dead weight. When you can put it on the tractor, it can help generate traction.

+1, it's true. The more weight you'll have between rear axle of a tractor and an axle of a trailer, the more down pressure you will have on a rear axle of a tractor, what really generates better traction. But be careful not to exceed a distance between both axles, so your tractor's front end won't be lifted up.
