I tried something like that with my BX2360 on my hill. About 2500 pound log on my 600 pound arch. Made it halfway up, had to use 4wd and all of a sudden started going uncontrollably backwards with the wheels spinning forward. Luckily a tree stopped me as everything was turning sideways. Takes weight to pull weight on a hill.
Certainly true. Traction is also important. If it rained I let things dry out for at least a day, knowing it would be futile to try with slippery ground.

I use four-wheel-drive all the time myself since I don’t have any pavement.

The only time I had an experience like you described was on wet grass. Not fun. And I wasn’t pulling anything!

Gentlemen,

When my legacy was newish, it pulled a 2004 for ranger off a rock is was hung up on. I pulled a lot with it. I can't tell you how much of a night and day difference it was when I bought my b8200. This winters show.... My garden tractor with 8" of wet snow was a tough job. The Kubota, went through it in a snap. An hour job now takes 10 minutes. Remember to a bx1500 vs bx2200? Few more hp.
