That was much better. Then one day I pushed it from the back to get away from the truck. I was surprised how much easier it moved. After that I just pushed it, although I mainly use an ATV of some sort now. I was thinking of making a push bar to allow me to be more upright and easier on the back. Pushing it looks goofy but it is easier

Good point with the pushing! Seems counter intuitive cause I feel that front wheel drive is better in snow vs just rear wheel drive (pull vs push). Maybe I can just get a dog sled team until my boys are old enough for some hard labor themselves. 👍🏼
