Chains should only be on the front when there is also chains on the rear.
Chains should be used on the front primarily for steering, not so you can dig more or deeper. I have snapped a front drive in my old Kubota, but I did not have enough ballast on the rear.
Whatever you do, always have more traction in the rear than the front to avoid issues. A full bucket and a front-end that can't spin is a recipe for disaster. JMHO.
