Does anyone have experience with tractor tire studs? Do they work or are they a waste of time and money?
Reminds me of a cartoon by Larson years ago where farmer had a tractor and a
huge set of drags consisting of 30 plus cats with their claws all stuck out and
being dragged by the tractor.
All depends on you wallet more than anything,
Where you are a set of 2 row snow chains or
2 row V chains would last you forever and always
be able to handle the work.
I loaded the rears on my lawn tractor as the chains and
rear suit case weights alone were worthless.
Load your rears and buy a set of chains and you will be better off as
studded tires on tractors will behave just like studded tires on cars
with black ice to deal with-only as good as your tractor and implement weight.

The issue is traction and only traction. the studs are only as good as the
snow or ice covered ground they travel over.
