I read the previous posts and without question chains will help with traction.

Will chains do any harm to an asphalt driveway or the concrete floor in my garage ? I know there's alot of variables to this, spinning , type of chain, etc.. but just wanted to know if anyone had any problem with damage being done.

Thanks

Afternoon Tina,
Well there are some variables. How big and heavy the tractor is and type of chains. On the Super A I use at my Ct home I have ice cleats on the chains and it leaves some small pock marks on the garage floor. It doesnt seem to damage the blacktop. That tractor only weights about 2500 lbs. Up in Vt I use a Massey Ferguson Diesel and that weights much more, about 5000 lbs and thats gonna do some damage to concrete. But up there my driveway is dirt so I dont have to worry about it. Hope this helps !

Good pictures Scotty. I like the way you sit off to the side with your Super A, it sure must help with visibility. The tractor looks almost new.
