Had tractor up in the snow yesterday...plow guy pushed a little snow and a whole lot of soft dirt into big berms, so I back-dragged smooth with the bucket heel before the mess froze solid (used the FEL Float function, wow!)
Quickly realized that once the packed snow gets frozen, might have some traction issues...
Has anyone bought tire chains for their 2501 fitted to R14's? Looks like I have 1-1/2 to 2" of tire to fender clearance...not sure if wheel spacers are needed?
Lots of chain options, Ladder, Diamond, V-Bar...but not much info pertaining to clearance.
Don't want to load tires due to trailering weight concerns...thinking between the FEL and 500 pound rear snowblower...weight should be adequate.

Any Chain recommendations?

I have a L3901 with R4s. No way I would put any chains on ot without spacers. Replacement fenders are expensive.
