Your right, safety and the preservation of the machine really isn't worth the extra 5 min it would take to remove 2 chains. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now we're just getting a little ridiculous. Have you even looked at Jim's username lately?? W. H. X. ?? Let's go ahead and break this down shall we? W. Wheel H. Horse X. This is what's known as a multiplication sign which is an indicator that there is more than one Wheel Horse present ??..... These two little curvy top symbols are an indication that Jim actually has very limited or even no notion whatsoever of how many of the above mentioned Wheelhorse tractors are currently in his possession. In order to greatly reduce or even entirely eliminate the need to add or subtract chains Jim could just Get. Another. Loader. Or... Or? This is going to sound absolutely crazy but what about getting a forklift tractor.....? 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeM 7,874 #32 Posted October 27, 2021 This kind of reminds me of a friend of mine talking about his father. He said....the old man got three garden tractors, one with a mower, one with a snow plow and one with a tiller. Hmmm I said, must be convenient? He said wait, I forgot to tell you, he only got one battery. Says you can't run them all at the same time! When the mowing is done.....puts it in the snow plow machine, when the snow is done.....puts it in the tiller machine, then back to the mower. I said really? He said yep really! 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then..... We figured out that's a PITA. So we buy more batteries. 😀 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handy Don 12,235 #34 Posted October 27, 2021 If you added those heavy-current electric winch connectors to each tractor and the battery, much easier. I can see the logic for sure. Good battery is expensive and they like to be used regularly. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
