There is quite a bit of uphill from the street with the last 200' being an 11% grade and a 70 degree turn just prior to the last 200'. The real issue is rain on hard packed snow then a freeze resulting in glare ice. I have chains on all 4 wheels of the tractor to get down the pitch but a pull behind sander might not have enough traction on ice to drive the spreader.
I have looked at PTO driven 3PH spreaders and that is an option. I would have to alternate between the rear mount blower and sander. As the real need is only a few times a winter I am hoping to find someone to sand. They would have to back up with the sander running. If not then I'll consider the PTO driven sander.
BTW I no longer have the plow truck shown in the photo, sold it after I got the rear blower.
