Funny you say this, I've used r4 for years and never had a problem. I have bigger problems with the r1's and won't have them again. My drive is hilly and 1600 ft long. Of course we have a lot of shale, rock, boulders and tons of other rock formations and R1's seem to lose chunks of rubber, where the R4's move over the stone easier and no problems

Larry,

I'm 100% on your side. I made that statement tongue in cheek because there was a big brew-haha in another thread with quite a few members saying R-4's are poor in snow. I think R-4's are fine in snow. I think the problem might be that some of the guys just can't drive in snow too good.

Also weight or ballast is key to making all types of tractors tires work properly

Finally got some snow to try out the new plow! All in all everything works good. I'll have to tweak the cab for a better fit but it did keep the snow off of me.

A lot of this stuff has since melted away, but it was great fun...I mean work ... while it lasted. There's more falling now.

Got about 10" of snow this weekend up in CT. Could stand to wait the storm to end so decided to move about 5". It was the first winter for my 2350, and the first snow for the blade. 4 wheel drive was outstanding, I was very impressed with the ablity to go any were.
About 3 days later we had gotten snow pellets and ice, the tractor did not perform as well in those conditions. I have very mild grade on my drive and I could not getting any traction. After that went out and got some chains for the rear tires, I hope that solves the problem. The chains do seem big, does anyone have any suggestions on installing chains and ways to tighten them?
Thanks!

The best way to put chains on is to air the tires down put chains on as tight as you can and then air the tires back up. There will be no slop in the chains. CAUTION be careful the chains don't get too tight when you air then back up if they do back off 1 link and reair.
Where in CT are you?

Here is a link to a movie, my wife made of my tractor removing about 6 to 8 inches of snow. It is about 100 megabytes long. It took me about 1 minute to download it and preview it. I made it with my 6 year old Sony Digital still camera. It was just about zero degrees F when I made the movie. The quality is just OK. It was our first movie with the still camera.

I spend new year at camp and had to open my 1 km of road then widen the other 2 km to help people who live on main road who live year round and us plow on truck.
