Terra-grip. Update
 
1st. Things first.

My drive way is as flat as you can get!

In my opinion; chains are a bit better. I had to anticipate & think ahead to do my plowing of 2" of snow.:bigthink:
I did start spinning a few times at first. Thinking ahead I had to change my tactics being used to chains.

So, all in all if you've got a flat drive
They are OK., but I think with a sloping drive one can run into problems ???

Also my driveway did not get scraped up.

There-ya go.

NIK,

More update
 
Ok, we had about 3/4" of powdery white stuff fall during the night. Went out there to clear my F L A T drive & a true test .

As I wrote before; chains worked better.

How can one get stuck on a FLAT drive? Easy. Go to back up & rear tires were spinning on 5 occasions. A bit of snow fell onto the front of the front tire in backing up & that was enough to start the rear tires a'spinning. Had to get off, clear the obstruction, pull the tractor a few i inches, rock it back & forth to get traction again. I'd hate to think of the problems with any kind of incline.

End result, I wish I would have saved the money.:bash2::bash2:

Gonna order some chains.:bash2:

Nik,


With the bit of scrapping my asphalt drive takes with chains, I'll live with it.

Well that sux, I was hoping that they would work out for you.

That's why they're called terra-grip and not nix-grip.

I kind of wondered how they would work on a smooth driveway. I bet they would work much better on a gravel driveway or dirt. :bigthink:

The only point to the terra grips is you can use them on asphalt without chewing it up, I don't think people with gravel driveways care about scratching the rocks.:biggrin2:

Nik,


Have your wife come sit on your lap while you work. Then you can have "together" time. Girls like that. :biggrin2::biggrin2:
