I have a Kubota B3200 tractor, loader & backhoe that I use for snow plowing my 600'+ level driveway. With backhoe removed, I get decent traction but turning is a problem. Is it possible to fit tire chains to front wheels? The clearance on the 23X8.50X14 tires seems quite close to the steering linkage. Thanks for any help.

Yes. However, you'll find that the front can still slide.

I find having the chains on the rear is the most important.

Another option that some people have done is use studs on the front. That might be an option as well.

You can use anything that fits, I have resized semi chains for the rear and auto chains for the front, use the big rubber band for a tensioner.
