Hi All!
I acquired some property but to get to its a very steep and long hill. I have my suzuki 280cc quadrunner 4x4 quad but it isnt enough power to get the heavy 25 ton dirty hand tools log splitter back up the hill.
I am curious if anybody out there has a similar situation with a steep hill and tried to tow their splitter with a bigger quad??
I am a little bit nervous to get a bigger quad for fear of flipping it and because the path is very rough and slippery. I can get up the hill with just me on the quad but I am spinning wheels alot when in 4x4. The quad does have a locking diff but that doesn't seem to make a difference. So what do you guys do for a steep hill and big trees at the bottom. Maybe a bigger quad isn't going to make a difference?
Thanks for any and all input. Will try post some pics later today.
