It will easily haul any loose material you can fit in the bed up hills that are 20 degrees plus. I hauled dozens of loads one weekend from the lower part of my building lot to the upper part so we could backfill. I guess it was 600-900# of loose clay/dirt per load. It was over 20 cubic yards.

Someone can do the trig for me, but it was roughly a 100' trip straight up the hill and a 20'-24' rise in elevation. My lot is only 2.5 acres, but has a 90' elevation difference from the front corner to the back corner.

Never a whimper and no sign of running out of power. I did have the 4 wheel switch turned on in case it needed it.
That's going to put you at a 20 degree slope give or take.

I read "spread gravel" I interpreted that to mean filling the bed, setting the tailgate open only 2" and spreading gravel from the dump bed onto the ground like a dumptruck. You must have meant spreading gravel already on the ground. I can't answer that. I know it has the power; the question will be with traction. I guess you could always fill the bed with gravel and leave it there for traction. Other psoters with front blades can chime in here for you.
