I have a rare 1075 wheelhorse and would like to know what grips more? using chains on turf tires or using AG tires because I have a plow to move the snow. By the way, I have a pebble and hard dirt driveway and most of it is on a hill so... which way???

Weights and chains will do it. Some guys put ag tires on the front of the tractor too with weights up front. That may require a hub conversion on your wheelhorse. Then pickup a new 4 bolt rims and small ag tire for the front.

check out www.weekendfreedommachines.com

I know it is green, but there's a few red ones hiding over there too. Look under the photo albums for john lang- he's got bar tires on front and back of this JD317.

Don't have a Wheelhorse tractor, but ingeneral chains and weight will do it. Weight is a big one, wheel weights, load tires, add weight to frame, whatever you can do to add a couple hundred lbs. will help a lot.

 Moving in mud in reply to Frankie, 11-03-2004 16:48:07  
There is quite a lot of mud near my house and every time I turn, my front tires on my 1075 wheelhorse slip and keep on going forward. Does anyone know what kind on tire I could use or something to put on it or what??? I got AG tires on the back! No matter how deep the mud is, I slip!

Ya might get a set of ag tires to put on it or see if the make a set a tri-rib tires for your size, then slow your ground speed down to a crawl when you want to turn. There is not a lot you can do with this thing to get it to turn in mud. It is not easy to turn a 4WD vehicle in mud with out sliding a lot.

im not familiar with your tractor, but if you can unlink the brakes so you can brake on one side at a time, then you can turn. to go left spin the wheel left, hit the left brake.

My tractor has the double brake/clutch thing and it wouldnt matter if I unhooked it or not.

well thankyou for being so polite, seen as how you didnt understand my post.

What i was referring to was brakes for each of the back wheels.

I would assume that if you have a clutch/brake combo then this will not be possible.

I shall note your name and not post in attempt to help you again.

I think you are going to want chains, then you are going to want a bigger tractor.

I will have to say that chains will work better than AG tires, Just my opinion. The chains will bite into ice better.

Ok thanks but the AG tires would work for light snow and mud right?

As soon as you drive over snow, it becomes ice. Chains are the only thing that works on ice.

Chains with the Ice Cleats will work much better. The AG Tires will fill with snow or mud and be like a slick. Mark H.

A little C or V shaped piece of metal welded into the links so the ends of the c/v press into the ice. Also called V bar chains. Look at>Link
If>Link you use them on ag tires make sure the chains don"t slip in between the cleats or they will be useless. I"m sure which is better depends on type and dept of snow, but I"d venture to guess on ice turf tires would keep more chains in contact with the ice.
