I know what you mean, but the chains on the tractor came with it and with the four wheel drive, and near bald tires I think they will work okay. I run double the normal amount of cross links on the 755 and they have no issues, and leave them on year round as it never leaves the property. Those skidder chains are fine on rough terrain, but they get old fast on any kind of packed surface. Mike
The Ford was 4WD also, but that didn't help much with those miserable chains. It did have a heated cab, once I rebuilt the heater :~)
It didn't help, that the people I worked for were cheapskates - There were very limited resources to work with in that place.
The machine had an 11' plow, that I had to weld back together, to be usable.
The roads where I used it probably could have been called "rough terrain" - I would have given anything for a set of skidder chains.
I had 3 miles of dirt / rock (I can't call it gravel, because it was mostly bigger rocks) road to plow, out to the county road, and it snowed a LOT.
There was one place on the road, where there was a little rock cut - The problem was that the cut exposed a little spring in the side hill.
By the end of the winter, the spring had built up a 15-20º side slope of blue ice, tilting toward a 10' bank, to a rock filled creek.
I always had my heart in my mouth, doing that stretch - I found I could catch it just right, by hitting it fairly fast, on the uphill side, and just make it through, with the machine side-slipping the whole time. I called that area "The Glacier" ..........
