I know your driving well enough to be confident that you tried easing into the throttle and feathering it to get traction, as well as trying to shift weight onto the spinning wheel (which you mentioned doing).

Call about the wheel weights and see if the shop thinks they will help and if they will install them. As much as I hate to say it, see if they have a more aggressive profile tire as well. We have chains, but I would say to avoid them, because they will chew up the asphalt in the driveway.

Whatever you do, don't tease your boss, as FLTundra06 suggested. He would be insufferable! The damsel in distress routine would work far better.

I will see if I can find some straps and order them.

Is the lilac OK? How about the rose bush? Whatever you do, don't take the chainsaw to the tractor. You might damage it, and I really like that saw. Use the sledge hammer instead.

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. I was thinking tease the boss's son and have him doing all the yard work.
