About the only time I get stuck with my 300U pushing snow is when I am backing out of a push on frozen ground. I just can’t get any traction and just set there spinning.
I used to leave the power up and try to rock or power my way out. That doesn’t work on frozen ground so I would have to throw chains under each wheel and eventually would get enough traction to back out. I also used boards, carpets, old tires, whatever worked to throw under the tires.
I discovered something recently that some already know and maybe some don’t.
I reduced the power to idle and let the tires spin slowly while alternating applying left brake and then the right. The tractor would slide sideways towards the tire that was braked. I was slowly rocking the tractor from side to side until it found some traction and back out on its own.
It has worked every time so far.
The trick is to reduce the power to idle so the tires have time to find some traction.
