I finally got to use my CT322 today for the first to remove snow. I have a large gravel parking area to remove snow from and it worked great. Only problem I had was that my lane out of the parking lot intersects perpendicular with a paved road that is on an incline. As I pushed snow out of my lane and across the road off into the ditch on the other side I packed down a thin layer of snow that got very slick. I did not have any traction issues running perpendicular with the slope. But I turned into the slope a few times to move some snow in a few places the plow missed, and had myself a couple rodeos. I found out very quick rubber tracks do not do well parallel on a slick slope, seemed to do ok sideways on the slope. It's not an extremely steep slope, but I had two scary moments sliding forward, sideways, and even backwards down the hill. Wouldn't be such a big deal except the sides of the road drop off about 30 feet on both sides as it crosses a big coulee. Anyways, long story short, does anybody have any tips for better traction on slick slopes with these CTL's?? I was contemplating going and getting a bunch of really short sheet metal screws and putting a few in each traction pad, but I dont want to risk ruining a couple thousand dollars in tracks. Any thoughts?
