Most of our property is on a slope. When the grass is damp it can be very slippery making it hard to get traction heading uphill. Does anyone here use chains for lawn mowing? Is there a better solution?
Whoa, he has heavy duty ATV chains on his mower. Says he digs up the lawn a lot less with them on then the slicks he made spinning out before.
I started leaving the chains on after winter of 11-12, and don't have a problem tearing things up. However, I don't have a slopey yard/lawn.
I also don't mow when the lawn is wet.
Neighbor is using chains and his lawn looks ok. I'm going to see what he has on his tires.
My garden tractors have always had chains on them from the day they come home. This place is red clay and only has probably twenty sq. feet of level surface on the whole 5.5 acres. Many years ago my father in law was visiting and he went home and put chains on for year around duty after that.
Ain't that the truth! I might have to follow your lead on the chains, I have the same problem.At this time of year it is. We've had a nice spring and the grass is loving it. I've been mowing since mid-March. Sometime I swear you can see the grass growing. At our latitude, long daylight hours really accelerates this.
I think you made the right decision. I leave the chains on my mowers year round.Great. That's what I wanted to hear. Just ordered them from Amazon. Thanks heat seeker and BB!
You may still need weight. Add weight via tire ballast, wheel weights, or frame weights if you still spin more than you'd like.Great. That's what I wanted to hear. Just ordered them from Amazon. Thanks heat seeker and BB!
I would've suggested ATV or HDAP type tires myself but some folks balk at the price.Ok? Guess I'm just talking to myself on here?
