Turf tires good in snow? YOU BET!

[brandoro]

I have never had anything but turfs on the tractors I own or have owned. The reason is I think they are the best all around tire for my purposes. I have yet to get this tractor stuck despite dropping it in a hole last summer that put the cab step under water.

Dude, that's one nice looking set-up! I am jealous of that cab!

I know ag's would paddle through deep snow better, but that's the nice thing about a snowblower. You don't have to. I'm glad I've switched to the turfs. They work good.... for me.

Nice winter shot. I am a sucker for any log skidding pics.

I agree!!!
Best time of year for logging, no brush or leaves, sap... Beautiful box setup for your saws/equipment/fuel/chains... (& Emerg. shovel, smart) and logging hook.:thumbsup:

I've got turfs also, and do not see the need for anything more aggressive or chains. There are occasions though that when I'm snow blowing my blacktop that I do get wheel spin when backing up a small incline that has a light coating of ice under the snow. A quick shift into FWD and away I go.

By the way, I rarely use fwd or the differential lock in winter or summer. My machine seems to have plenty of traction as is. Tires are not loaded either.

I run just turfs on my B2920 with no chains and it has done a excellent job of blading snow, both up hill and down hill.

Here's a short video of me moving some snow in my driveway. This is a longer then recommended 6 ft blade. If you look closely you can see that snow coming off the far side of the blade is higher then the blade.

I will say that there is all different types of snow, some light and some heavy, but so far I have had no issues with just turfs.:thumbsup:

I puchased my Massey specifically with turfs. They are the best tire for my purposes.

I use chains on the rears in the wintertime, just isn't safe to clear my driveway without them.
This is a picture of my yard, you can get an idea of the slope. Driveway is steeper, paved, and deadends into a busy highway.

Nice video!!

Seems like a lot of snow for St. Mary's County (southern MD).
Was that the surprise snowfall we had on 30 Oct 2011?

Have used my Deere 4210 with FEL, RB, and non-loaded turfs with winter snow removal for 9 years now, the MFWD does an excellent job and even in deep heavy snow I never lack for traction. The only time I get wheelspin is when I am pulling deep wet stuff forwards with the RB and it builds up and stops forward motion. To me turfs are roughly comparable to radial tires in snow on a car, large contact patch and self cleaning tread.
