I have a 3720 with ag tires on it. I switched the industrial tires out when I bought due to being able to dish the wheels out. With the industrial tires on it seemed unstable on my hilly property.

I used to have a 120 foot gravel driveway but put the 3 inches of base blacktop on it. Since it has been blacktopped my tractor will slide around. My question is, can I put chains on without tearing up my blacktop?

Thanks

I have used chains on my little Kubota F2100 series mower for 25 years on a blacktop drive way when plowing snow in the winter. It marks the driveway but the tractor is relatively light and it works great. Doesn't destroy the road at all. I am sure a heavy tractor would eventually cause wear and tear.

Aquiline MPCs here, as long as you do not spin they do not mark my asphalt.
