Chains Had to put the front chains on

The trick to the gravel is, pack down the first 4 inches of snow. And, don't use chains, or spin your wheels.

Any wheel spin, brings the gravel up to the top.

With care, I manage to only move about a 5 gallon bucket of gravel each winter. Which sure beats raking it out of the grass every spring.

Have studded chains and the backhoe on ,and was trying to up this slight hill in the back yard. The hill is on an angle sloping away from where I wanted to go, I thought it would be not problem, but in 4wd the front end was just starting to slide down hill and not in a direction I wanted or needed to go!. I stopped backed up and put the 2 link twist chains for the fronts on. Tried again it it was much better, I think the tractor is just not heavy enough at times,. You can see my tracks in the pics

I dont use or need chains, I just fill the FEL with dirt or cinder blocks and it gives me all the traction needed. If it still gives you a problem I concur with another poster about driving up backwards.

i had to chain up all 4 a few weeks ago. the tractor was just sliding too much. dont like the feel of loss of control when plowing. works soo much better with the chains
