A note of caution when using chains. The rolling circumference of the tires is changed when using chains You probably will want to be sure not to use 4wd on hard surfaces as there will be extra stress on the drive train. You probably will not experience any problems on soft surfaces, ice, snow, mud, or soft packed dirt. However, you may want to take it out of 4wd when on any pavement, whether you have chains on or not.
Good point.

I always take my tractor out of 4WD when making tight turns out in a bare roadway.

It's stiff without chains and seems more so with them.

Thank You. Not a concern, as, the drive is dirt. Main Rd. is dirt. "OJ" doesn't leave the yd anyways. Only real use "OJ" sees is winter. The drive itself is perhaps 4/5 bus lengths, if that at most, all inclined. Now, I just need me a heated seat, lol. Thank You Again.
The heated seat can be solved by getting a heated seat cover from Walmart. It plugs into your cigarette lighter socket and works from your 12v tractor battery. It even has a vibrate function for massage while you drive.
