Perhaps this is because your viking is too weak (said with respect). I have found that the better my run score is, the more weight I can move. There may have been a change to the mechanic that created the illusion, but after getting my run up to 60, I'm able to get 3k up a low incline. I created switch back trails up the hill and it works like champ. Happy to demo.

As an aside, carts can be used to help build in the water and capture objects that you can't normally reach. Since the cart can't actually sink, and you can stand on it like any object, you can actually build docks far easier when you can stand on something solid in the middle of the water. Give it a shot, it'll wow you.
