Re: (ET) chain

I agree.  It seems I always have ice to contend with and chains are a must.  The chains go on the tractor when the blade does.  I even have chains on my walk-behind snow thrower.  BTW...Chains are nice for pushing dirt & gravel also.

 

I go the REALLY easy route with my tire chains.  I have an extra set of wheels/tires with chains already installed.  I just swap out the wheels/tires and I'm in business!

Charlie, in my experience ag tires are no good on ice. I have a farm 
tractor (Farmall BN) that turns into a helpless cripple on ice. My snowblower is 
on my Wheel Horse 655 with ag tires, and I have to use chains for blowing 
snow or I have real problems getting around, even on frozen sod.
