Need more information. What type of trailer and how large? Single or dual axle? Does it exert tongue weight on your tractor drawbar or is it more like a wagon. How steep is your hill? How much wood are you hauling? I have a 6X10 dual axle dump trailer, weight about 2300 empty. 10,000 lb GVW. Now if I fill that even half full of woood I can't keep the front end on the ground even on a flat with a similar tractor. I wouldn't even think of climbing a hill. So there is only so much you can do with these tractors. My problem is essentially just too much weight altogether. I have plenty of traction what with cast rear wheel centers and the trailer tongue weight, she ain't spinning tires. I can just get around but just barely with the trailer pushing the tractor around. I don't generally haul that trailer with that tractor but that's the result if I do hook up in a pinch to move it around or whatever. Back to your problem, if you are spinning rear tires, weight the back. If the front is coming up, weight the front. There are limits. Once you get traction you will be lifting the front. If you only have steel rims on back you likely need rear wheel weight first.
