TIRE CHAINS
When extra traction is needed because of
certain soil conditions or when snowplowing,
the use of tire chains for either standard or Bar
Tread
tires can be very helpful (see Photo 6/4
and Photo 6/5). Here are some of the jobs you
can do better when you put tire chains on your
tiller:
Tilling in loose, sandy soil.
Snowplowing with a Dozer/Snow Blade.
Tilling on wet,
slippery clay.
Grading with a Dozer/Snow Blade on loose
and
sandy soil, or wet or mUddy ground.
Making drainage ditches with a furrower.
Tilling tall weeds, heavy cover crops, or extra
thick vegetation.
Tilling
previously untilled sod with the fur-
rower attached.
If
your soil is extremely loose, light or sandy,
then
your tiller may tend to bury itself due to
loss of wheel traction (spinning tires)-espec-
cially when tilling deep at low throttle speeds.
This is where tire chains are extra helpful.
When
using your Troy-Bilt Dozer/Snow
Blade for snow removal, tire chains can make
the
difference between poor traction and the
positive
pushing power you need. Photo 6/5
shows how tire chains can easily give your tiller
more traction to handle light and medium snow
falls with the Dozer/Snow Blade.
Tire chains can also be a great benefit if you
use a
dozer blade for moving soil or doing light
grading. This is particularly true in wet grass
or mUddy ground.
