How can I build a road up this hill

[deezler]

Other suggested this but as of now getting the tractor up there is impossible. Even if I winch it up there some how, it'll be stuck up there for a long time and I need it for other stuff on hte lower level.

Really, though? I don't get it; perhaps the picture is not telling the tale. But you should be able to put your machine in 4 LO, hit the diff lock, and just drive right up there. Or do the tires just spin? Don't be afraid, you're not gonna tip over backwards.

I agree with ZTMAN's suggestion on using a box blade, do you have one? Get your machine up to the top and drag the box blade down to carve in a trail. The first few times driving up might be an adventure, but I think you can make it.

It just wont do it. It'll go about half way and just cant make it the rest of the way. Yup I think the photo does not show the slope . Also I am afraid to do it.....I'll use a string to measure the angel today. Non stop rain for days here anyways....Once I make it up there, so many posibilities. There are several naturally level areas with mild slopes connecting them.

If you have an iPhone, it has a measure APP. There's a level in there. Just lay a 2x4 up a slope you want to measure, open the measure APP on the iPhone, select the level option, and hold the side of the phone against the 2x4. There's your angle.

It's hard to get a good picture of a slope. They are usually steeper than the pic shows.

Usually it's best to dig an angle up the side if a slope, instead of straight up.

Usually I run out of HP before the tires spin. Appearantly, they do not make non-turf tires for the BX1880....Even if I find them, once my big projects are don, I'll be on turf most of the time.

Consider tire chains.

I rather unhappily discovered that there are a couple of places I can't get through with R4s even in Lo, 4WD and DiffLock. Some of my dirt when mixed with sufficient rain is just 'slicker'n snail snot' as the saying goes. I can't even walk up that spot on foot safely. Slipped and fell when trying to walk down it. The weight of the SCUT sinks into it and I just sit on it and spin. I have to back down out of it and try again at a different part of the hill.

This is an area I dug up and tilled this fall after grass growing season ended. I'm hoping to find a grass that will have a tough enough root system to solve that problem before next winter.

Consider tire chains.

Tire chains won't do him any good. He says he runs out power before the tires spin.

Should this even be possible? OP: Are you at full throttle, in 4WD, and in low speed?

I agree that something is wrong. Either it’s not in low range, the parking brake is on or something else is wrong.

Good points. If it's an HST, maybe he's mashing the pedal instead of letting up on it to gain power?
