Cadplans- There is no substitute for a good set of cleated tire chains. Though your push plow is set up quite differently from our factory cubs, you also don't have near the winters we have here in N.E Ohio. Since we enjoy splitting hairs with each other's points of knowledge, I would have to say that your tires would be a good alternative to using chains if I were pushing across concrete drives, and so fourth.

Having lived in the Rocky Mountains, there is not a snow ball's chance in heck that you can roam about with out tire chains. Many tractor trailer are required to pull off the high way to chain up for good reason. Same principal applies to the push-power force of the Cub Cadet blade.

From what I gather, the remaining champ in the "who's who" of tire traction goes to the turf and chain. I have a bran new set of ag tires and with out doubt, I would not run those here where I live. The 4-link, 8.5 turf have been awesome for 5 years now. Lets see if some one can post a little about their ag tire set up with 4 link use. Any one, do I hear crickets, lol!
