The spool isnt really a good idea, and having to get out and lock your hubs will suck. You only get out and lock them after you are stuck and are in the work possible position. Been there done that. Waited till i was burried in 3 feet of snow before i decided to lock my hubs. I had to dig down to my hubs and then the suckers were frozen. Just get a loc rite, you will be much happier in the long run.
