Do I need chains

Postby ShawnAgne » Wed Aug 11, 2021 6:53 am

Found the A60 blade, the tractor has turf rears and ribbed front wheels and I have a full set of wheel weights. Do I/should I get chains also? I have them for the Cub and they made a huge difference just wanted to check for the 100.

Tire chains always make a difference. The 100 is heavier than the Cub but it also has more power than the Cub. I would suspect you'll see the same improvement with tire chains on the 100 as you did the Cub.

Turf tires pushing snow in Ohio? I'd lean toward buying the chains.

the blade takes some weight off the rear wheels. I have an ih1000 loader on a 130 and double wheel weights and chains. I left the chains on for the summer. in addition to the 130 with the loader, I ran my 140 with the a60 blade with turf and chains as well as a cub for snow duty this past winter.

I got my chains at https://www.tractortirechains.com

Chances are with turf tires you will not do much without the chains! Especially if it gets icy!
