chains on snowblowers
Original Message   Mar 18, 2005 2:40 am
What are your thoughts on putting chains on snowblowers.  I have an 8hp Ariens and thought they might help on hills.  This site is great,  actually the people using it make it great.  Thanks for your help on a previous problem.

I put chains on almost everything in the winter, my tractors, my truck, and if I could find a set to fit, I'd put them on my car.  My driveway is gravel, except in the winter when it is ice. I'm tried of getting stuck in my own driveway, so about 8 years ago, I bought chains for the truck (the tractors already had them) I've even got chains for my Troy-Bilt tiller for when I use the front blade. I guess you could say I'm in favor of having tire chains on all things, because it beats the heck out of digging out stuck equipment.

The snow hogs on my Ariens worked fine this winter.
