I wanted to pull the car out of the trailer today so I plowed the snow in front of it, there isnt any snow on the south side but in between the shop and the north side of the trailer(where the sun doesnt get to) there is some snow BUT the left side tires are froze in... I'll have to wait till it warms up more today and see if I cane get it to move... BUMMER

Have the same problem. I just about need a D9 Caterpillar to get mine out! 
Nowhere near a D9 but I have a D3 here that could probably yank it out 
We skid some pretty big logs out of the woods with it I'm sure your trailer you would be no problem

I could probably hook my tractor to the truck and maybe pull it out but the wife doesnt like to drive the truck OR the tractor but she's not here, she went over to her sisters place and wont be back till after dark anyways, which then everything would be froze again

Well I got the trailer out... hooked up my tractor to the truck and pulled the whole thing out till I got the duallies on the pavement.... now I cant get to fire up.... E-85 dont like this cold... I pulled the plugs and they're all wet so I'm going to try cooking them for a bit(I dont have any spare plugs that I can find)... I guess I better give it a drink of regular when I try to fire it again

I have same issue but ..its due to wet ground
trailer is parked on asphalt but have to swing thru the yard to get out
Too wet, has been since Sept to pull out

Hey Mike, A problem with the E fuels, They do not like to sit around with no movement for a bit of time cause the ethanol sucks up water in the air makin it heavier than the fuel and falling to the bottom of the tank <phase seperation> Big problem with gas boats, We have to stir the gas tanks on the boats in the spring before start up other wise you just soak the plugs, seems like there is just something new every year 
Yeah I pumped out the tank last fall and put some
fresh E-85 in it today but its too cold to fire it,
was 35* in the trailer about 40* outside... I didnt
have any brake clean to spray it with but I'll get
some tomorrow and some reg gas... I'm all out

I used E-85 at the ice drags and had no issues. It was 8-29* outside depending on the weekend...
Are you sure its not winter grade.... the cold is why
its changed in the winter... it doesnt like to fire,
thats why they change it to about E-70

It's whatever came out of the pump at the BP. It was probably winter grade. I don't have a tool to check. The car ran great though... 
Yeah thats winter grade, most likely its E-70...
all I have is summer grade E-85 and it dont like to
fire when its cold... I had issues when it was mid 40s
