[AT] Tire chains

[Mike]

Just wanted to give an update on the question I had asked about tire 
chains.  I did purchase a set of the Duo-Chains , and put them on my 
tractor a MF 255.  Today was the first day to try them out; we're 
getting a pretty good snowstorm in Michigan with about 12-14" of snow 
falling. My wife went out to play with the dogs and said we had about 
5-7" on the ground. She wanted me to plow because she needs to get out 
of the driveway for work in the morning. She was concerned it might be 
too much for the tractor to handle. Well, I can tell you that I was able 
to clear the whole driveway in High 1, at 1000 rpms's. It didn't even 
break a sweat, thanks for the suggestions, it was money well spent.
