Hi,
Found my B2910 waiting in the driveway when I got home from a trip to Home Depot! It had been back at the dealer's for a warranty repair. The plastic drive shaft cover somehow was rubbing the drive shaft and got a hole rubbed in it. They fixed it for free, including pick up and delivery. Happy me!
So back on went the loader and I started down the 25 foot grassy slope�cwet from rain and quite slick, but I forgot about that�cand wouldn't you know, I guess I was so happy to have the tractor back, after four days without it, that I forgot to check and see if it was in 4wd�c
Can you say toboggan? I can�cwow�chere I go! Down the hill and across the 20 foot flat spot, starting to spin sideways and stopping just at the edge of the next slope where a little trail leads to my storage shed. Behind me, two brown stripes the width of my rear R4's. And no, in case you are wondering, I did not leave them! The tires did /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif.
I had been thinking about possibly buying some chains, since if I want to use the tractor to clear my parking area/driveway if it snows, I have to climb that same slope and go back down afterwards. "Should I spend the money, or not? " was the question.
Guess I got my answer this afternoon.
No brainer, right?
I suppose chains on a CUT will give about the same traction improvement as chains did on my little garden tractor, right? The only chains I can find for my 12.4 x 16 R4s are cross chains [I think that is what you call them, the standard kind of chain], and I will buy the two-link variety.
What do you guys think? Can I expect chains to make a big difference like they did on my little MTD garden tractor? Cost with tax will be about $250.
I guess I have the clearance on a B2910 for chains...
Any pictures of your tractor with chains installed?
Thanks for any input.
