I purchased a very similar set in about 1995. By picture, mine are identical. Used on 1863 for snow plowing/blowing only. Driveway paved and sealed, more or less level about 200' long. I use cast iron wheel weights, rear weight and if necessary wife standing on rear weight. On ice trying to push wet snow, the tires may spin even with wife added. But, 95% of time, they work for me without wife. I don't get stuck too often. Backing up with the snowblower on a layer of ice doesn't work. Need to plan how to move without getting stuck. Some of the cross bars are delaminating, not shredded yet.
