I would add tire chains to complete the snow removal unit!

And I also add roller chains wrapped around the front tires for steering control when pushing a blade full of wet heavy snow.

I filled my rear tires on my C160 with RV antifreeze and chains . Never spins works great. Chains are a must.

    I just gotta ask Bob.   How did you get those chains inside the tires?     :confusion-shrug:  :ychain::text-imsorry:  I just can't help myself.

It's either my grammar or your understanding  that's screwed up. 

But I stand corrected the chain's are on the outside of the tire. You have to be careful what you say here. These guys will have you for dinner. Thanks @Ed Kennell

the roller chain thing

I have 10 feet of # 60 roller chain waiting to be put on. .. hoping it will help with steering in mud and soft terrain.... then snow. ..

You will be well pleased with the difference on snow and ice, I'm unsure of what difference it would make in mud or soft terrain it just might tear up more than it may help because it does bite in well.

I'm ok if I tear up the yard... I do have some green stuff growing out of the ground but I would certainly Not call it a Lawn.:blink:

 

The main reason I'm putting on chains is - while going uphill and turning, the tractor likes to go straight ahead even though there's 110 lbs of fluid weight up there.

 

Not sure when I'll get around to trying them out but I'll try to remember to post the results.

I added about 120 lbs to the front of my B80 with larger, fluid filled tires. it does steer a bit tough if I try to turn the wheel sitting still... the roller chains should actually help twice. 1. they bite in for traction. 2. they can make it easier to steer by reducing the ground foot print.

@ebinmaine as for turning in mud I had the same problem. I installed a set of ags  on the front and the only weight I had was about 30 lbs of hydraulic tank and fluid. No more steering problems.

I wanted ags for the front but couldn't find them for a reasonable price at the time. I got the turfs I have now because I was trying to get the tallest front tire possible...

Any source for 20 inch or taller ags for an 8 inch rim?

Thanks.

You might give simple tire a call.

Never filled the wheels thinking, "Rim rust?"  :think:
