Last winter was my first winter with a duece. The wife and I have about 20acres and I took it out into one of our small “pastures”. The field grass was about 8-10” tall and then we had about 6-8” of snow on top of that.
Anyways, I couldnt go ANYWHERE without the front diff engaged, and even then, when in 6x6 I couldn’t drive more than 30’-40’ without loosing traction and spinning out. I had to back up about 10’ and give it another run at it, again only going maybe about 30’-40’, back up and do it all over again.
Maybe my truck wasn’t actually locking the front in when I flipped the front diff lever? My tires at the time, the 9.00r20 NDT’s and they just don’t cut it for snow use? I also did NOT adjust tire pressure.
Any thoughts? Or ideas?
***I just see tons of videos of guys plowing/driving/towing through TONS of snow and here mine is struggling majorly.***
