Default Chains or Studs ?
After attempting to plow the 6 inches of snow from my driveway with my 1200 and a set of turf tires, I had to back the tractor into the garage and pull out the snowblower. I could not get grip on even the slightest incline. I expected this, and wanted to just give it a try. I have about 1000 studs from my ATV that I've been staring at. You guys think I should stud the turf tires, or just by a set of chains. Keep in mind, that the tractor was bought with the intention of pushing snow, not cutting grass.

Chains and loaded tires or wheel weights.

That'll handle six inches of snow real well. Even on an uphill slope if it's not too steep.

Ayup. Another vote for chains and weight.

All of my snow moving Cubs have chains and loaded turfs.

Just guessing, I'll bet there are 6 of them. As far as that goes the chains and loaded turfs are on all year round...

I know it's been said before but I've tried chains and AG tires. The chains and turf tires seem to work much better.

Default chains/studs
Using (2 link V-bar chains) on turf tires. Plain chains were not so effective for us.

I have weights on there now, but with turf tires they do nothing. I guess I'll have to penny up and order chains.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
