There is another post somewhere on this forum where the question posed had to do with tires spinning on asphalt, would they spin more or less with chains.
My answer was in my area we rarely have the luxury of asphalt or packed snow or ice. It is always a combination.
I suggested to the person with the problem, he chain his rear tires and leave the front bare. If he is on pavement without ice or snow then engage the front axle and let it pull and thus reduce the need to spin on the chained rear tires.
I think having one end chained and the other not you have more options.
I grew up when front drive axles had simple cardan joints at the wheel end. These joints did not like transmitting high torque loads at steering angles and often would break.
Then I bought a surplus Volvo military truck which had "portal axles." Now the torque to the front wheels passed through gears and not cardan joints and you could apply full power and full steering lock without a concern.
My kubota front axle is like that so no concerns with steering angles but there are still tractors using the cardan joint.
My neighbor was over with his equipment to tear down and remove an old shed.
His tractor, one of many, is new, very powerful and yet has Cardan joints on the front axle.
Some of the smaller new tractors still use this cardan joint technology and it is for that reason I am always cautioning owners to not ask too much from it.
