I Got The BX Stuck

[japollner]

Last snow storm ended up with a fluffy layer of white on a thick layer of glare ice. I went down the driveway but I wasn’t coming back up easily without grabbing a pair of chains. Should be set for the future.

Looks good, some rear ballast may help

Indeed fill the rear tires and/or a set of wheel weights you wouldnt believe the difference it makes, and not to worry about the grass I have filled tires and wheel weights not a problem,,though if you are going to run chains, you might want to think about a set of wheel extenders and move them out maybe 3 inches on either side

I did almost the same thing on my B2650. Same situation with the solid sheet of ice under the snow. Matter of fact, I think we may even be in the same state. Anywho, I don't think I can put chains of my tractor as I would need wheel spacers for that. Sooooo, lots of sand. Lots and lots of sand...

The tears are filled, believe it or not. It was pretty slick.

No spacers here. It’s super tight to get them in there, and I wrestled a good bit, which is why I didn’t show the video from it. But they are on there and as long as you aren’t cruising around at full speed, they aren’t whacking the inside of the fenders. Also, NH represent! There are a lot of us in here it seems. What part of the state are you from!

I am in Bow. North of you.

Looks to me like the operator is providing plenty of human ballast......

I have rubber tire chains on my B2650, low profile so they fit without spacers. They actually do a pretty good job. Have not had them on solid ice but they bite good in snow pack. Do a search and you will find info on them.
