I'm trying to decide if I'm going to need chains for to make snow behave.
The total snow depth usually peaks between 3 - 4 ft.
However, it may accumulate 1 -2 ft between clearings.
I'll also be digging through old/refrozen snowplow banks.
The surfaces I'll be clearing will be packed snow, packed gravel, loose gravel and ice.
Will my JD 855, 4wd, w/ag tires, need weight, chains or should it be OK?
I will be using an FEL only.
I've done some searches and not found a clear answer, esp. for non-asphalt/concrete surfaces.
Any thoughts, experience?
Thanks,
Glenn
