I have front v bar chains I got this year and I love them. I plan to get rear for next year but they require spacers and I spent my $$ on a 66" PTO snow blower. Some January storm I was using my loader to move snow and the tractor did a 180 spin out on me. Never had that previous years but that was enough, spent $99 or so and now I can pull uphill with no spin outs. I can also push back banks with ease. At the time of the spin out and not getting up my drive there was only a fine coating of snow and I have loaded tires and the back hoe was on.
