Chains V-bar tire chains

[MuncyBob]

My 422 has the turf tires and I went to a local dealer for some chains. He told me that v-bar chains would not be appropriate for my tires and they are more meant for lug or v(mud) type tires. Seems to me he's full of it?

I'd say he's overflowing.

Well put!

The v-bar chains would be good for ice and off road, but if you have cement or blacktop they will tear it up. I put regular 2 link ladder chains on my 1845 (R4 tires) and it goes good in the snow but I don't know how it would be on ice.

My previous Kubota B7100 with turf tires had V bar chains on it. Worked well for snow, ice and mud conditions for me. No damage to concrete or pavement that I could discern.

I have 4 link V-Bar chains on 23x9.5x12 turfs now. They work OK on the gravel drive ....... but after one attempt I stay away from the asphalt drive. The V-Bars will chew it up if you spin the tires.

I plan on getting some 2 link ladder chains off Amazon in the future. ($44.)

Thanks for confirming my gut feeling on this. Never dealt with chains before. No pavement or asphalt within 1/2 mile of here so it's 2 link v-bar for me!
