I am hopeing to use my tractor to clear the drive this winter (about 75'). I have a I-544 with a 7' straight rear blade. The tractor weigh's in at around 5000 lbs. I have a brand new ag tire one one side and one about 1/2 way thru its life on the other. They are air filled. I get small drifts in my area (less then 4 feet). Do I need tire chains? Can I use the independent brakes to compensate for the limited slip differential? This is the first winter it hopefully will be working and I have never pushed snow. I am assuming it is better to push (drive in reverse) snow then to pull it (drive forward). I can angle the blade to help minimize the amount of snow I push at any given time. Do you think I will be ok without the chains?
