Best tires

[Gregor 4,846]

I want to put a snow plow on one of my tractors. I don't know which tractor yet. I was wondering, what is the best set up for pushing snow on a concrete driveway?

Bar tires? with chains?

Turff tires? with chains?

ATV tires? with chains?

 

Or is there something else? 

Thanks  Greg

Based on discussions of the past, a well weighted turf tire in winter time will always outperform a bar/Ag tread.  Add chains (and even more weight) and fluid fill ‘em, you’ll be in good shape for pushin!

Keep in mind that chains may mark up the concrete, they do have rubber chains for concrete and asphalt.

I run turfs with no added weights or chains. Three flat drives with typical Michigan slop er… snow…

works fine for me and no marks…

I have a set of weights, and a tractor with turf tires. I will try that, and add chains only if necessary.  Thanks All

I have heard rave reviews on the Carlisle Versa Turf tires. Some even claiming that they no longer need chains. They are supposed to kind to your lawn as well.

Previously I have had regular turf tires with metal chains that worked good. I have a driveway with pavement and gravel spots. Worked pretty good on both. No weights either.
