Hi fellas,
I just bought a new tractor, a massey gc2410, with some attatchments. I was reading some of the other threads and became a little concerned about my r-4 tires in the winter. A big reason for buying the machine was to not get stuck any more while moving snow and people have said that the r-4 tires do not do very well in the snow. So, I was wondering about a good source for chains (the diagonal variety, so I do not loose the chains in between the tire treads) and if I could or should use chains on all 4 tires. The dealership said that if I put chains on all 4 tires the front to back differentiation would not be there and the tractor would be damaged, this does not make sense to me. You would want differentiation between the tires for turning the tractor but front to rear wheel turning speed to be the same, right? or am just confused. Any thoughts would be welcome.
thanks -
