I agree. In the middle of Winter, when temps are in the single digits, the snow does have a bit more stick. Plowing hilly driveways with 12" plus snow you need, at, least, front chains on a 4wd tractor to get tractor and steering. With front chains on a 3000 series kubota, my son could only plow down the driveway when we wake up to 12"+. After he finally bought rears, he can go up as well as down. Very necessary around March when we get the wetter snowfalls. It packs under the tires and good-bye tractionAlways surprised by the ones that can handle snow plowing without chains. Then I remember that not everyone has steep hills to handle.
Am I looking at an Ariens? What model? I'm thinking about getting one of these. I need a tracked snowblower because all my land is unpaved. They have 3 different models. 2 are fuel injected. How long have you had it? Any issues? I'm still running a 2003 TroyBilt stormtracker.

Oh for sure, it wasn't cheap! Thankfully mine was paid in full before they raised the prices even more.Sounds like my bank account would take a "kracken" lol
The Chain going to the QA plate for Float... Does that work OK? It's very horizontal where generally the chain is very vertical.Trying to make improvements before the snow gets too deep . Got my hydraulic side shift to work . This will save me some time around the buildings. Hoping the chains on the front tires keeps the front end more planted when turning.
Probably fairly well.No pictures, because I don't know how.
TYM 674 with cab. 72" inverted snow blower and a 72" snow pusher.
We'll see how the R1's do this winter.
