sunrunner 0 Posted January 1, 2008 Thanks to "Biggie" for an engine:D, I now have a 6126 for snow-throwing and another 6216 for plowing/mowing - My 6218 will be put on rototilling and grading duty - Should I get a set of AG's for the plowing 6216 in the winter and put them on the 6218 for the summer? or buy a set of chains & weights? My stone/dirt driveway is done on the highest shoe setting, so I do get some ice patches(no traction at time). Which I sand with a pull behind spreader - Would AG's or chains be better in this situation? or both??:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MPH 12 Posted January 1, 2008 I say a pair of Ags should do you good. Either the Carlie Tru=power or if your willing to spend a little more and get the Firestones. Haven't run the Tru-Powers on the 4040 in snow so not sure how they do, but so far these Firestones have kept me from putting chains on this year, plowing on hard snowpack.

sunrunner 0 Posted January 1, 2008 What are the firestones called and do they come in a 23x10.5-12's, Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunrunner 0 Posted January 1, 2008 Found what you are talking about - Does not come in my size - found another thread and your second choice was tru-power's - will look into that - Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goatfarmer 817 Posted January 2, 2008 I put a set of Goodyear ag's on my 712H, with a snowblade. I think it compared favorably to a set of chains. We had about 8-9" of snow yesterday, never got stuck or hung up. Even going into "fresh" snow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackcobb 11 Posted January 6, 2008 Have a 185 Allis (74 HP ag tractor). Of coarse, it has AG tires. However, when I put chains on it in the winter it does things with the chains you wouldn't even think of without. I'm a chain man! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
