Still eagerly waiting for the first snowfall here in SE PA. This is what I used to use, since I didn't have my BX24 last winter! Took me about 4 hours to clear a 700 foot driveway.

| Re: Let's see some snow removal pix
Got about 10" of snow this weekend up in CT. Could stand to wait the storm to end so decided to move about 5". It was the first winter for my 2350, and the first snow for the blade. 4 wheel drive was outstanding, I was very impressed with the ablity to go any were.
About 3 days later we had gotten snow pellets and ice, the tractor did not perform as well in those conditions. I have very mild grade on my drive and I could not getting any traction. After that went out and got some chains for the rear tires, I hope that solves the problem. The chains do seem big, does anyone have any suggestions on installing chains and ways to tighten them?
Thanks!

Thanks! | Just buy the black cheapo rubber bungie cords. 3-4 per wheel in a star pattern. Remember that they do stretch pretty well so you want to make sure you get them small enough that they are stretched when they are mounted.

Great pictures.
Amazing how you guys are able to plow snow with R-4's. Lots of guys here keep saying they're useless and they just clog up with snow.

I usually use my Cub cadet and snow blower but snow came quick this year in mass. so I took the tooth bar off and used my fel and box blade to move 13 inches of snow. It worked great to my surprise

I have bigger problems with the r1's and won't have them again. My drive is hilly and 1600 ft long. Of course we have a lot of shale, rock, boulders and tons of other rock formations and R1's seem to lose chunks of rubber, where the R4's move over the stone easier and no problems
