Plowin' Snow
I've been plowing snow the last twenty years with turf tires and chains. Between home made wheel weights and a pail of lead on the draw bar, I've added close to 200 pounds. I can push snow with the best of them. I just bought a set of ag tires. I've noticed in various pictures, most of you guys with ags DON'T use chains. Do you have any traction problems?

I have one tractor that has a snow thrower, 10.50 turf tires and chains on it. It has no additional weight besides the driver.
The other tractor has 8.50 ags with fluid in them and an 50 pound weight on each wheel. No chains on this one. I don't have any traction problems with either unit.

In Central Maryland we are typically on the rain/snow line as the low pressure areas move up the eastern seaboard. Therefore, we see heavily weighted snow and ice so chains with weights are needed. Heck, for the occasional fluffy stuff I can usually use a leaf blower.
It all depends on where you live and what kind of snow you get.

Thanks to all. Being in the lower Hudson Valley, you never know what you're going to get. Usually not too much ice, unless it's ALL ice. I'm going without chains to start with. I'm getting tired of bouncing up and down on clean pavement. I guess my chains will fit over the ags if needed.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
