New guy here. I recently purchased a used 2005 900 with a Curtis 72" plow.
The first snow plowing try in Michigan resulted in a fair amount of wheel spin, even in 4X4, with the OEM style knobby tires as the driveway has a bit of packed snow on it. Probably not surprising.
A bit more info, I plow about 1500 ft of blacktopped driveway between my own and a couple of neighbors that I help out.
I'd like a few comments on whether to buy a set of chains for winter use or a new set of more aggressive tires? I'd rather not put on the toothed chains as my experience with them on my tractor chewed up some blacktop. I'll stick with just the straight link chains if I go to them.
Thanks, Bob
