Chains studded tire chains

[whistlepig]

Do you think these studded/v-bar chains will tear up my concrete floor when I park the tractor in the garage?

i have not had any problems but i do not spin the tires in my barn. 85% of the time, i also put down long osb strips where the tires go. Not sure if that is necessary.

You don't have to spin 'em for them to do damage to a concrete floor. I back mine into my garage very slowly, and over the years they have pitted my floor substantially. I keep saying I'm gonna put plywood or rubber mats down, but never seem to get around to it. Definitely consider protecting your floor if you get the v-bars. Regards, Mike

Thanks. That's good to know before buying the chains. Maybe non studded chains would hurt the floor also but not near as bad.

My tractor has not caused any damage in 2 years with studded chains but i have duals on all 4 wheels so the weight footprint of my tractor is pretty low.
