Howdy everyone.
First post and first time tractor owner. I've got a lot to learn and I hope you all can help.
I bought a JD770 used....'92 with 2500 hours and in real good shape. I have just 2 acres with a large driveway. Got sick of snowblowing so I moved up to the bucket. I live in Maine and the past 2 winters have been very white and very deep.
So, my tractor is 4wd but I wonder....will I need chains?? My rear tires are 12.4X16 Ags if that helps at all. I did purchase a 3pt. Carry All and I will use that loaded with firewood for rear weight.
I am thinking I will be better off with chains. If so, what style of chain....Just a double link or a chain with "picks"?
As you can tell I my terminology is lacking. Hey, cut me some slack....I'm a newb.
