Tire chains for a 2024 Kubota BX1880

[Thechap1]

I purchased a new BX1880 which came with a front loader and a mower. My intensions are to use it to move snow in the winter. We live in the mountains so nothing is level. Could someone recommend what chains I should get? The mower has turf tires and I don't have plans to to buy other tires. Just the rear tires or all four. I'm also considering getting a ballast box. Thanks for the help!

I don’t think I’ve bought from them but lot of folks use www.tirechain.com

I just use ladder chains on rears;,some do all four.

A BX doesn’t have a lot of space in the wheel well. Many guys like to put spacers on. I haven’t but many do.

First welcome, second what kind of tires did you get? And 3rd before you put chains on, unless things have changed the clearance between the side wall and things underneath are a bit close so you might want to check that out. Im not sure where Waynesboro is but I'm in the Laurel Highlands more or less and my BX has no chains. That being said, I do have the back tires filled ( R4) and have never felt the need for chains. But to each his own. The ballast box will be a good addition when using the FEL ! And you do not want to fill the front tires with a FEL, its really hard on things. And a few things to remember, 1 look at the job think it through, then think it through again, remember things can go side ways real quick. 2 Don't run with the FEL up in the air, it makes the whole platform rather unstable and will lay one its side and play dead! 3 mowing up and down steep inclines never side to side. Seat belt, yes it is a PIA but it is there to save you should your toy,,,errr I meant tool decide to roll over and play dead. Remember common sense is the most important thing when working with a tractor, and remember also it is a SMALL tractor,, capable but small dont expect it to work like a 988. Most important have fun and keep coming back, oh and pictures,, we do love our tractor porn
