Guys, last winter my hunting farm was snowbound and the only way I could get in there was to walk the half-mile driveway in snowshoes. That got a little old by the end of winter and last year we were getting snow until late April.
My Deere 2010 (gas) with loader sits in at the farm, AND I've got tire chains for her. The chains are a nice set with the square in the middle of the pattern so they are not just loop-over chains.
However... I've never even bothered to put the chains on because her rear tires were bald as cue balls. Last thing I wanted to do is take her out and the get buried and have a tractor blocking my driveway all spring because if I got it stuck the driveway is too muddy to even try to move her until early summer.
So this year it's different because the Deere got new shoes. She's sporting a fine nearly new pair of rear tires, these are the obsolete 13.9x36 tires so finding good used ones was not easy and the tire change and fluid fill set me back over $300 NOT including the price of the tires.
Which brings me to my question. Now that I spent all this time and money on good rear tires the last thing I want to do is mess them up.
Will properly installed tire chains chew up my tires?

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
