Great perspective, Gordon! I would love to see you try the newer style R14 hybrid tires in that experiment to see the difference between them and the R4's in snow. Maybe you know someone that has them.

@ThomassEvo 2 жыл бұрын

I've got the r14. They do better than the r4.. Although I have asphalt driveway. Our slopes are about the same. Mine might even be steeper in a Longer distance. I slid down it with my snowblower and salt spreader. So 1000 extra lbs. Not fun. Almost went sideways and into the highway down below. Bought some of the same branded chains but they are made for asphalt. ( Have yet to try them yet... No snow at the moment.)

Those tires are gonna be awesome when used as more of a utility snow tire, like you'd get on a plow truck or someone's ski country Subaru/winter battle tank. Great tires if you're doing tons of asphalt plowing

I don’t need chains for my tractor where I live, but, years ago when I used to drive in the mountains in winter (California, Utah), I used a pair of spare tires with heavy chains with traction bars welded to the cross links. That rear wheel drive car would go places that I’d only attempt with all wheel drive today. Very good advice from you.

I have had chains on all 4 wheels of my Kubota tractor since 2004 and they are a necessary on hills. I live in the Selkirk Mountains of British Columbia and have a very steep 600 foot driveway with a switch back there is no way in icy conditions you will make it up our driveway with just chains on the rear, with 4x4 and chains on the front and back and can plow our driveway up and down in safety, its not nice to trade ends when you lower your front blade . Mountain plowing is so much different than snow plowing in the flat lands of Ontario, or most of eastern North America.

@noelstractors-firewood57 2 жыл бұрын

In my mind, you have to have some sort of chain. Ice chains sure give good traction. To off set the harsh ride you can lower the tire pressure a bit. And from what I know the chains should be a little loose for best traction. I have a number of old garden tractors, which are two wheel drive. Snow throwers on the front. So I need the chains. And for added traction on any tractor, you need extra rear weight. Wheel weights, loaded tires, or weight off the back of the tractor. This helps greatly with traction. Great video GP.

@woodking1970 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the nice demo of the necessity for chains on snow and ice (probably mud as well). The chains also have a tendency to slow one down in in-climate weather. Too many accidents are caused by speed and lack of traction. Stay warm and safe there in Canada this winter. Hope Santa visits your place at the end of the month. Cheers!

Hello GP. I have not used chains because of plowing the runway. When I had R4 tires, I found I slipped a lot with my tractor. when I purchased the KUBOTA tractor, I had turf tires put on the tractor and have not skipped t all. The turf tires seem to do better on the snow and ice. If I had a driveway like yours, I probably would put chains on my tractor. But, my driveway is flat. Good video and demonstration. I have had the unpleasant experience of sliding backwards the a Case skid steer. Not a lot of fun.

Chains are great for sure but they are not ideal if you need to maintain asphalt or concrete surfaces. I like the R14 style tire as an alternative in those instances (R4's are notoriously bad in the snow). However, if you only have gravel or dirt surfaces to maintain, nothing beats some studded chains, especially if you have a very hilly driveway like GP does.

@coypatton3160 2 жыл бұрын

If your rear wheels are set to only 1 position, no width adjustments then spacers are most likely needed regardless of tractor make. If your wheels are of a 2 piece design, between the adjustments in width and possibly switching sides spacers may not be required. Widest stance would be 1) dish out on center part of wheel and 2) rim to the mounts furtherest from the tractor body. There are reference online for this position. It may be you do not want this stance except when running chains.
