Jackknifed in the woods

What happens here

The skid steer, now loaded with logs and separated from the dump trailer, attempts to climb the snowy hill on its own, managing to do so successfully. Meanwhile, the pickup truck, still with its plow, is connected by chain to the loaded trailer for another attempt to ascend the hill. Due to the extremely slippery conditions, the truck's wheels lose traction again, and it gets stuck. The skid steer then positions itself behind the trailer to push the entire combination. This strategy also proves difficult, as the truck slides precariously, highlighting the extreme lack of traction. The rear bumper of the truck is damaged where the chain was attached during these attempts.

Goal: The skid steer and truck, now separately loaded, face renewed challenges on the icy incline, requiring combined effort and precise maneuvering.
