I never thought about putting chains on ag tractor tires before, used to do it on turf tires years ago, but as the first snows of the winter may hit tonight or tomorrow, sounds like it might be cheaper to buy chains for my 186d and be able to drive it to town, than the f150 4x4 with 32x11.50 tires to do the same thing. Also to clear a couple of driveways around here. A local was killed a couple of years ago when his tractor slid and tipped over when trying to pull a truck that could not make it up a step hill, he had ag tires on it and didn't work very well on the ice under the snow. I will look into getting some tonight.
My yanmar was very dangerous last year in the wet Oregon snow. I will never run it down the driveway barefoot on 6" of snow again.
