It covers tire chains (with reasoning on driveway grade), 2-inch wheel spacers, ballast via a three-point carryall with firewood, a block heater, auxiliary LED work lights, and a detailed look at a 72-inch hydraulic WR Long front blade including trip springs and greasing, then follows into an actual multi-pass driveway plowing session with running commentary.
Posted by an owner-operator documenting their own compact tractor's winter setup and use on their property.
The owner has a hilly gravel driveway and struggled to push large snow quantities without chains, previously sliding off the driveway edge while plowing.
Two-inch spacers add clearance so the chains don't rub or touch the steel loader fenders, which are expensive to replace.
A 72-inch hydraulic WR Long front blade, chosen because at a 30 degree angle it covers the roughly 60-inch track width of the tractor.
The owner uses a three-point carryall loaded with a couple of heavy firewood rounds, which adds enough weight and can also carry other items.
