Today's 10-inch snowfall gave me the first real traction problems I've had in the two years I've had the B3030. I have R4 tires and use a rear blade and front loader with no chains or weighted wheels. Today's snow was on the heavy side, and I found that I bogged down a lot using the rear blade, and sometimes had trouble moving while using the loader too.
I'm wondering what is the least new equipment I need.
Could I get away with chains just on the front wheels? Or do I need rear chains too. Does Kubota make chains, or do I just go to Tractor Supply with my wheel size(s)?
I'd prefer to stay away from loading the tires, because of concerns about corrosion if the stuff leaks, and also because I'd like to keep the tractor as light as possible to avoid making mud ruts in other seasons.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
