Had my new Deere 2520 delievered yesterday....just in time too! Got about 4 or 5 inches of snow today. Took the MMM off this morning and went at the driveway with the FEL. I gotta tell you, this was fun.
The machine is very impressive. Managed to clear my 200 yd paved driveway in no time. I have one mother of a steep hill...the tractor got it done, but I can see I'm going to be needing some chains...things were getting sketchy on the way back up the hill when the skim slush left was starting to freeze.
I've done some reading and looking on tirechain.com and want some opinion from people that actually have experience. I am planning on only rear chains...I have R4 tires, and the rears are loaded. It seems like Tirechains.com is one of the better places around, and it's about 30 miles from my house, so that makes it simple. They have ladder chains in stock for the 14-17.5 tires in stock (2 link and 4 link) and also have the V-bar option (these look super freak nasty! :thumbsup
Let me know what you use and if its on pavement!

- 2 Link or 4 Link...I read that 2 link makes for a smoother ride, does it help traction? Is 2 link overkill?
- V-bar or not ? I know that V-bar will tear up the pavement a bit....I rather have torn up pavement then a torn up 20K tractor or worse a torn up Silverado or 4runner! Is v-bar overkill?
