I had a L35 TLB a few years back. Very good machine. The M59 is a nice, smooth, strong TLB. With the 3-Point hitch capability it is very versatile, strong work horse for its size.

Put the M59 to work the other day. Getting the BTU supply underneath our covered porch. It’s a nice size bucket.

I broke down and ordered some chains for the front of the M59. I didn’t really want to spend the money on them, but I am going to need them if I want to get anything done this winter back in the woods. And will be moving snow with it as well. The industrial tires I have had on machines in the past were not very good for either of those things. So the chains should help.

I'll be curious to hear how the chains work out. I expected that we would use front chains quite a bit on the M59 when we got it.

That was because a few decades back we had several winters with deep snow. And since chains had been handy for us on tractors before we got the M59, one of the first things I did was to have a custom set of front chains made for it. That was in 2008.... I tried them on to make sure they fit, took them off, and have never used them since.

There just is that hasn't been a need for chains here recently. We've had mild winters for the past decade and no real deep snowfalls, at least nothing over a couple of feet, and the M59 handles that just fine barefooted. For some reason the M59 doesn't slide around as much as our other machines. Still, it's nice to have the chains available.

Let us know how they work.

For steering, a light set of chains on the front really help!

Studs may work also on ice??

Everything on my property for parking and roads is crushed stone and/or dirt. The snow gets packed down and becomes very slippery. The chains on the last tractor made a huge difference.

Then going into the trails in the woods to get next years firewood out is always better with chains as far as I’m concerned. As soon as you start uphill and or have that granular snow the slipping and sliding starts. Not with chains.

I’m hoping for the best!
