Today I used what I have read here.

Seems like maybe it's been discussed before, I dunno, but if you can lift that dead axle or at least dump the air in the dead axle it will make a huge difference

 

If you own the rig
You might consider the spinning chain things that fire trucks have .
Those are not suitable for miles and miles , but to get across a parking lot I think it would be fine .

super singles and a dummy axle has no traction at all in even just a little snow .

 

On that case you can use a choker chain .
A length of chain just long enough to reach through the rim and around the tire and back to itself

just to get across a parking lot , I wouldn’t put on a full set of chains without trying everything else .

 

That’s a much better idea just to get you off the launch pad. Thanks.

edit - just read a few more. Guess not so good.

 

That could work as long as he's on asphalt. Didn't work for me in the dirt. Just dug me deeper.

Now if he tried on frozen ground. He wouldn't need chains.

 

I have a couple places I visit daily that are that way. And they're asphalt parking lots.

It might be manageable if I had true 4wd. But the lockers apparently don't work on my current truck. And the last truck only had 2wd.

What i have to do is hang back and wait for traffic. Get a running momentum.

When I started with this company. There wasn't a digester. Everything went to farmers fields. If the ground wasn't frozen. Farmer had to tow us.

I tried all the tricks mentioned above. Not even full chains helped. Unless there was plenty of snow.

They might work for you. I don't know your exact scenario.

I feel your pain.

Imagine having to play in fields before there was a digester. 50 years before a digester came along.
