wild ride

I have made a conclusion based on my experience last weekend.

A Cub wearing loose (or tight) heavy ladder chains on classic tractor tires with wheel weights still slides all over the place! I was trying to push about six to eight inches of snow - which does not seem like very deep snow to me.

My next try will be to put on a set of rear turf tires with chains.

I am slowly learning the secrets of the Cub.

I had the same problem with mine. I had them pretty snug and they wouldnt grab at all. I loosed them 1 or 2 links and work pretty well now. I welded some 1 inch rebar pieces to the ladders and it helped a bit. I would still like a little bit more traction though. Hope you find the "trick" to yours.

I tried mine as tight as possible, but had problem with them slipping in between lugs on my newer tires. After I loosened them one ling, no problem.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

REBAR ! :twisted:

I like it - I am picturing one of the renegade attack vehicles from the Mad Max movies.

I am also a civil engineer by training - so I have a natural attraction to rebar.

Take Care
