Marvin, you sure about that "30-35�"? I replaced my 30% (16.7�) driveway "cause it was 4x4 everytime it rained. 30-35� is well over 50%.

No way would I consider pulling something that heavy up such a steep slope knowing that all it took was losing traction to start going backwards, uncontrolled.

If you do have that much slope, you need a winch with it anchored firmly at the top. Or, an all wheel drive tow vehicle that weighs a lot more than that trailer. If you"re near here, I have both. Have to see that slope, but I"m pretty sure I"d only winch it. And I"ve only got 200" of cable on my winch. Could be an interesting exercise.

Be careful.
