can I read this forum even if I live in Florida and we have no snow?
Hi Whistlepig!
Yes, I have had a chance to use the chains. We got about 5" of fairly powdery snow last week. This isn't really enough to give the chains a good work out, but the two areas I would normally see slippage (end of the drive and on the road in front of my drive (which hadn't been plowed by the county yet)) resulted in no slippage whatsoever.
I could probably do the work in 2WD, but I'd have to use the steering brakes. All in all, the chains are a big help and worth the purchase (and the work involved in putting them on the tractor). I'm hoping we get a heavier snow (15" or so) so I can give this tractor and chains a good work out.
Couple of pics attached...sorry, no action pics. These were taken at 0500 and my wife doesn't get up that early (let alone drag her butt outside to take pictures!).
Hi guys, I'm a new member to this forum with a 2010 Kubota M59 TLB. We finally got enough snow to be worthy of blowing and I find that my rear mounted blower causes me grief when blowing up a 10% grade in my park. Chains are not an option on my R-4 tires because of the lack of clearance between the fender well and inside tires....a friend with an atv that he uses for snow removal suggested tire studs.....I put carbide screw-in studs in the lugs @3 per = 180/ tire on all 4 tires.....yesterday we received 6" of snow!!!!! Great test day!!!!! Sure enough, the tractor stuck like glue going up hill while blowing snow!!!! So far, I highly recommend studs as a far cheaper alternative:thumbsup::thumbsup:
Nice set up. I like the rear work lights. I've used my chains for the third snow today. I like 'em.
