Going uphill in reverse

Hi All,
I live on a very hilly property with lots of trees. I am continually dealing with firewood and using it to heat my house. To get to my work area, and split wood with my log splitter, I pull it with my 9N. But, when the soil is wet, there is no way to get up the hill forwards.

So, I was wondering if any of you fellers have success in going backwards. I had the thought of drilling a hole
in the loader bucket and put a ball on it to hitch the log splitter to, and pull the splitter uphill backwards.
Wondering if it would get better traction.
