    Yup! Until this year, I'd plow a path, bring 5 wheel barrel loads around the house, up a ramp onto the deck, have my son lift the front of the wheel barrel, into the house, repeat. 2 loads with the kubota, raised up right in front of the front door. Life is good! :yes:

    They sure can! The ground is pretty solid in spots and other spots a little damp. After a bit of a hard freeze again I hope to get these chains on the bota. If we have significant snows like last year along with all the ice, I'm gonna need em.

    You got chains for your bota? I thought you did or were looking last year? Just the front tires was it?

    Yes, just the front tires. They seem to do the job.

    Yeah we lock them tight now and then we use zip strips to secure them to make double sure. Someday I will learn anyway other than the hard way:whistle:

    Oh, absolutely! I wanted to wait until the ground was more solid than it is, but starting to slid sideways down a hill told me GET THOSE CHAINS ON! :hair::tractor:

    Chains are awesome! Tractor tires on ice are useless.

    They sure are! I typically plow the entire road up to the house. It's a town road, but when there's a decent storm, he told me himself it's last on the list because we are the only ones living on the road. Small storms I let him get it unless I have time, big storms I do in case of emergency. We get a foot or more Dawn would have trouble getting in or out.
