We have 7km of icy remote access road to sand.
Any tips? I have got a F150 and a John Deere compact tractor.
I was wondering if a dump trailer with a spreader gate would work for sanding. or would the sand come out too fast? Any recommendations?

I can't put chains on all of my vehicles. Need 24 7 emergency access.

Buying equipment is not out of the question. Pulling a dump trailer out of the woods would be fine. We have a mid size tractor. I'm asking about the dump trailer because it would be handy to have in the summer for earthwork, versus a tailgate mounted or PTO sander which is useless most of the time. I am the one who plows it, with a Degelman.

>dump truck with spreader
yeah but you need an attachment if you want to evenly distribute the sand. if you're handy you can probably throw something together

you need an ex govt dump truck with a drop in sander and a plow on the front
>emergency access road
if this is for a municipality you can probably put in to requisition a truck from surplus from another agency

well, if you refuse to use chains, which are the tried and true tool for these conditions thats red flag number one
and your flat contradiction that a stuck trailer full of sand would be an issue is red flag number two
theres a reasom every municipality that does this puts the heavy thing on something with drive wheels
realistically, do you have any idea how much weight you are going to need?
an 8 foot sander full weighs well over what a car does, and if you are trying to cover two miles thats a lot.
you get a bigger truck, and put a big sander in it, or as the other anon said, ex municipal shit.
it seems you have little experience with winter
why is this your problem? is it a driveway?

correct.
so you're rich, and you had somone build you something fun 2+ miles in and now you cant even drive to your house
best bet is good studded snow tires for someone who's retarded enough to type the phrase "snow tires are incompatable with their vehicles" and also again, after I say there's a reason ALL people who do this kinda thing put the heavy thing on a thing with drive wheels, then you bring up a dump trailer.
too fuckin retarded to play with the nice things you grifted from the rest of us. Classy.
I can put tire chains on one tire on the front axle and one tire on the back axle in under 10 minutes. I carry a sled so I dont have to get wet.
im not retarded.
you have vehicles that are "incompatible with tire chains"
no, its you. you're retarded

10 tons is a full dual axle dump truck. get real, he wont need that much.
a 250 and an 8 foot 2.5 yard sander would probably do this guy ok, but this whole thing is retarded. this guy doesnt know shit about winter

have you ever used a dump trailer?
it appears like you havent.
if you cant put chains on a fuckin vehicle you definitely arent figuring out how to raise a bed in a controlled manner as you drive, and if you do, you're just gonna rip the dump bed off the trailer as you raise it up and get on a 5° angle without realizing it
sanders dont go in trailers
heavy trailers in winter are a no go
weight abone your wheels that turn is essential
neck yourself

he's talking about sanding 7km of road, he will most definitely need that much if he's sanding 2 lanes, more if there are steep slopes. if it's all perfectly straight & level road he can get by with 0.1 kg/m2 which is still ~5 tons.

i already pointed out by the number you chose (20000 lbs) you know nothing. Not even how much room that takes up
doubling down by repeating numbers AI gives you wont matter. you said 10 tons, thats retarded and even if most people have to spread that much, they would do it with a couple loads in a much smaller unit. like say a 250 with a 2.5 yard spreader in the back. payload of the truck is about 4 thousand pounds, and that full will put the truck about a third over capacity when its full.
ballpark reasonable for something thats gonna crawl.
you're a tool, anon. if you dont actually know, shut the fuck up.
it was more obvious when idiots like you just copied and pasted forum posts rather than pretended with your fuckin chatbots
you and the OP are peas in a pod
