Hi Henry,
I have been using my M35A2 for the past couple of weeks to move gear and
people up a snow covered mountain road. A few things I have learned:
- Chain everything, v-bar chains are best
- go slow, momentum just gets you where you didn't want to be
- back up as soon as you lose your front end, try and find a better line
- weight can help, with 6000 pounds(!!!)of gear and students, it does move
better
- watch snow conditions, soft, mushy snow eats these trucks for breakfast
- have fun, getting unstuck can be an adventure, and girls like the guy who
can control his temper and laugh at his trouble, (I know, I am hauling
college girls).
I have some pictures of my M35 in the snow at

Enjoy! Todd
