ice+snow = no cub
 

So after bringing the 129 w/loader home 2 days before Christmas I knew it would be a while before I got any seat time ..... Family, Holiday & work obligations are all time consuming.
Well this past weekend I got the time and also 18 inches of snow. I went out and decided to lay in the snow and change the oil before putting any run time on her. With that done it was now time for the fun. YA THINK?? With a small snow, then a thaw, then a freezing rain, the 18 inches we got all fell on glare ice and the Ag tires won't move it an inch and that's with filled tires and 4 cinder blocks & two 16 inch long pieces of railroad track in the weight box.
Oh well. I kinda anticipated it would only be better with chains and ordered a set last week ...... just haven't gotten them yet. The dodge ram 4x4 gets me in and out of the 175 ft. long driveway for now and hopefully I'll have the chains for this coming weekend.
Well I'm glad some others have gotten some snow time in and I hope to join their ranks soon. I'll post pics when it happens.
Have a good day all

Looking forward to your pics, Tom. We may get a dusting here in NC tonight. :beerchug:

Depending on what size tires you have, you could just go to an auto store or Walmart and pick up chains that go on a car. I put chains on my cub's 23-8.5-R12 that also fit my car's 175-70R13 tires. Works pretty good. It does not have as many chains going across the tires as a garden tractor tire chains do. Works well and double duty too if I ever need to put them on my car.

Keep that snow up on that mountain too. We dont need any down here in the piedmont!!:beerchug:

Here in Vermont that 5 inches is only a dusting ....... I only got 18 inches but 15 miles south of me my sister got 33 inches

i dont know about you guys but i have had enough of the snow....lol....here in the wild and wonderful we have got about 7 inches right now and still coming down...took me like 4 1/2hrs to drive 140 miles from work tonight

Yup, doesn't make ANY difference how much weight you put on it you ain't going anywhere on the ice without chains!

Good luck
