Snow chains…do I need them?

[Shotgun Merwin]

I would like to hear from people who are using the R14 tires as to their experience plowing or blowing snow with those tires.

I put a set of r14s on my b2601 in the winter for plowing, just because they look a heck of a lot more aggressive than my turf tires i mow with. Sadly, in the 2 years since i owned this tractor, we never once had a heavy enough snow to warrant plowing, so i have no idea how they work yet.
