We were talked into getting a canopy, and I’ve been surprised how much I like it - wouldn’t have one without now. As Jack Straw notes above, tire chains are another very practical addition. This is one place I splurged, and have not regretted it.

 

I have them on the back and I was having a hard time steering in the woods today. I may look into some for the front tires.

 

I'll second tirechain.com. You'll be fine til you get some ice, then snow on top of it.

 

Check out the net style chains. They have excellent lateral traction. I'd like to have a set of these on the back but they are crazy expensive for the rear.

 

Nice!

 

It looks like it has 12.4-16 tires on the rear. Stay away from the duo grip. They don't work good with R4 tires and they ride horribly.

Be careful with Peerless brand chains. They make their chains fit a half a dozen different sizes. I got a set that just barely came down over the tread.

 

Those are pretty aggressive and should work well. Be careful if you do go on asphalt.

 

That’s what I got with the tensioners and tensioner tool. They’ve been great! I put them on today. It took about an hour.

 

How much snow do you have?

 

2” and then we got ice. We are getting 3-6 inches tonight. Looks like you’re getting more.

 

Yes but we don't have enough in this area to sled, the county trails are still locked up until we get more snow unless there's logging going on.

 

I don’t often see chains on the front, and usually if they are used it is for steering while plowing snow, and there aren’t chains in the rear. Not my area of expertise, but I’d be very hesitant to run them on both front and rear with 4wd. I’d be more inclined to use my brakes for steering.

 

I’ll give another vote for tirechains.com. I got a pair of double ring chains for an old Farmall years ago.

I’m not sure of the make of my current chains, but love them. Here’s a post I did a few years ago on chaining up: Tractor chain-up day (pics)
