Default How deep is the challenge......

How deep into fresh snow can you drive a CMP....without chains and not get stuck.....


I have gone as deep as the bumper pushing the snow.....but....when I stopped I could not go ahead anymore.......as long as you can keep the momentum you are OK.........

The you have deep snow with icy crust under fresh snow......until you sink to the frame

I know that a M37 with chains on both axles can go as deep as the top of the hood......until you do a HARD right turn and pull a chain off the front wheel and wrapped itself up around the brake hose...... it was cold so...... the Dodge stayed there until Spring time.......my Mom was not amused as it was in her backyard.

I will try again this Winter if we ever get more snow......

Cheers
