Snow Stuck in the snow

[teachdocs]

Another thread discusses turfs vs ags for the BX. It even goes on to suggest the need for tire chains.

I would like to see some pics of Kubotas stuck in the snow with an explanation for how it was the tractor's fault and had absolutely nuttin' to do with the operator.

BX23 with turf tires, no chains, NOT stuck while plowing.

I mentioned chains for my tractor to my FIL. His comment, "If you need chains to get there, you probably shouldn't go there" My FIL and his MF165 with chains were the kings of "I shouldn't have gone there" back in the day.

I have Kubota TG1860 with a snowblower, turf tires and 2wd of course, but it will not go anywhere w/o chains. 4wd would make a big difference, but the machine is just too light, and eventually I would find myself stuck (operator error; what's the fun of having a tractor if you don't over-use it??).

Trust me, the BX is light enough and the tires small enough that the situation could arise where you wish you had chains, or at least a 4wd pickup to give you a pull.

The area around my house that I clear is not flat. When the ground is frozen, with a slick coat of ice/snow on it and you are trying to blow or plow uphill, it is very easy to spin 2 or 3 (with diff lock) tires and go nowhere.
Sometimes I have to get a run even when I have chains on.

Stuck- no way. But if I want to get the job done, something more than rubber is necessary.

I got my tractor stuck 1 time and it was my fault. I was green behind the ears and didn't know better.

Have done my 650 foot driveway with no chains for 4 years and have had no issues.

Remember 1 thing. Never let the rear tires go off the driveway because at least with the differential lock to help you there's a way to get out of it.

Sorry, never been stuck in the snow. Mud, yes, but not snow. Here are a few pics of a BX with no chains in an Upstate NY snowfall.

I suppose now I'm doomed to get stuck this winter for shooting off my big mouth!

Don't worry about tires or chains. I doubt that it would even be possible to get a BX stuck in the worst snow storm Kansas has ever had. At least not on a paved or gravel surface.

Off-road is another story. You don't even need snow to get stuck there.

PS: For a while it looked like the Royals might not finish in last place this year.

*4wd pickup to give you a pull.

*I'd just tow it out with the other tractor.
