I've been pushing snow in the upstate NY snowbelt for 30+ years using a 7' backblade on an Oliver 1650. My experience is tire chains are unnecessary unless you get a very heavy snow on top of hard ice. But even in that situation, as long as the tractor can get a few feet of running start it will bang through and push snow just fine. Also unless there's just a few inches of snow, the backblade works best and does the neatest job pushing backward. You can easily place and pile snow this way. Also makes it much less likely to get stuck (and a lot easier to pull the tractor out if you do get stuck!)

My recommendation - especially with your relatively short driveway: Try your outfit without chains a couple of times and see how it works. If you find you DO need chains punch below. These guys offer a good selection and great service. (I'm no way associated with them other than as a satisfied customer….). I'd recommend the ladder type chains - will give all the traction you need without spending too much $$$.

Now let it snow!!
