I have 200lbs in back, and we'll see how it goes.

Thanks for the info.

Any more ideas beyond weight in the back, and patience, or generally kepping your head out of your butt?

Bill

Generally keeping your head out of your butt works great in snow.

I built a lil box to put my weight in. I just took two 2x4's and put them on both sides of my wheelwell. then took two more 2x4's and joined them together to make a box right over the rear axle. the put 5 60lbs sand bags in it. it works really good. all the roads were closed today whenI got off work. so I took the back roads and I was hitting drifts 5' tall and just plowing throught them

Get some Firestone Destination AT's I think is what I JUST got. They are sticky as hell on this stupid ground type stuff... look into it...
