4110 , Mahindra. , how does it handle in snow with chains, 4 wheel dr ?

I love my V-bar.
"Only" about $700.
Know your tire size and go to tirechains.com

How would your machine handle a steep drive lane if machine set up nicely , like yours. I am guessing you could run up or down hill used regularly by cars & trucks , including 3 axel tankers, once in a while, collecting gas well water from tanks. I worry that on an icy lane the 4110 Mahindra might take off down hill.

Lived here a long time. Back before 4 wheel drives were my choice of SUV & now all wheel drive cars, I used chains on rear wheel drives. I remember in 80s coming home in lots snow. We used snow tires then. I would pull into drive, lay out a set of car chains and had them hooked up in less than 10 minutes. I used to think my Chevy was better than a 4 wheel drive. I trusted chains. Losing control is no big deal in closed car. But on 4110 i am thinking cautiously. Probably over thinking this. I just don't have any experience with using them on farm tractor. My machine has industrial tires, I believe. Little cleats but not deep like ag tires. Just looking for opinions. I may run to my Mahindra dealer and get some ideas. But sometime a parts salesman might sell me chains and tell me they are greatest since sliced bread.

Decisions decisions.....A GOOD CHRISTMAS TO ALL ! Coffeeman

My tractor isn't sliding anywhere. I need an angle finder to know my driveway hill, but I can drag my back blade while pushing the snowblower up it. Previously, I would sometimes struggle getting up it (so that I can blow snow going down). Certainly worth it.

Again....That's a nice setup. It looks to be close in size to my Mahindra, about 4000 Lbs. The Mahindra 3510 would be very close to what you have, I would guess. I like your post, "My tractor isn't sliding anywhere." I would have suspected that based on my personal experience with car & pickup chains. In past, I tried to pull my tractor up an iced up concrete ramp out of it's garage. In 4 wheel, no chains, I couldn't get out. So I never considered using for snow since I had old off road Blazer with blade. After about 10 years use it's toast. At this point in time I'm gonna check out chains and decide if I want to go there. I may just rely on the local guy to plow with pickup. Would take a few seasons to even save enough to buy the chains. My drive is 1/2 mile. Some time the "guy" is too busy to give me quick service. So I gotta do some thinkin.

Thanks for info.......Best to you and yours........Coffeeman

We call them my "tree climbing chains". They are V bar from tire chains.com. $700 for the set, so you gotta want them (bad). Sucks having "huge" tires. Night and day difference though.

You'll end up with some. Just a question of when.

Good luck.
