[QUOTE="grubbie, post: 803691, member: 5478"] I have a Ford 5000 diesel with loader and grapple. Also has a bale unroller on the back. In winter, I have to pick up a bale on the back before I can pick one up with the grapple. If there is even an inch of snow on the ground, I will just spin once I pick up a bale with the front unless I do that. Now, I have purchased another tractor, this one uses both remotes for the loader, so I have no way to pick up a bale on the back (no squeeze function). I have never used tire chains on a tractor before, and they are expensive. Are they going to be enough, without adding weight to the back? If I still have to add weight, I might as well just rig up a weight for the 3 point and not spend the 450 on chains. The tractor is an AC 185. [/QUOTE]
