Finally got enough snow to initiate the Kioti to its first Midwestern winter. A little bit of ice before the snow hit so things were slick underneath the 5+ inches of snow. Have the R4's and was worried about traction so bought duo-grip chains for the rears through tire chains.com. Don't know how it would have worked without them, but no problems with them. Glad I got them. Most work done with the FEL with the back blade tidying everything up. Fun morning.
