You need more weight on the drive wheels, not at the rear. When going uphill
forward, the weight of the engine (and you) gets
transferred to the rear wheel and lets the front ones slip. One alternative
might be to partially fill them with water (plus
antifreeze) or something like this http://www.rimguard.biz/
I'm not sure if that would be enough, but it might be a cheap experiment to see
if it improves the situation. You should be able to
find the adapter to connect a garden hose at Tractor Supply or similar.
