In Reply to: Chains for Kubota? posted by Tim in New York on November 10, 2018 at 14:19:25:
I bought F & R two link ladder chains for my B1750 about 25 years ago. Two link ladder chains are MUCH better than 4 link ladders and ride much smoother. They are also OK for asphalt so long as you do not get the V bar type, which will damage asphalt.
Tire chain type choice will depend upon tire type and whether you plan to operate on asphalt. Read the material on tirechains.com concerning the various types.
I just bought another F & R set for my B3350. These also are two link ladders.
My B1750 has turf tires on the front and matched bars (not R-1 or R-4) on the back. My B3350 has R-4 tires both F & R.
I use chains only for plowing snow and front chains are very helpful for steering. You will be using your brakes for steering when plowing snow unless you have front chains. If your Kubota is a HST, are the brake pedals on the opposite side from the hydro pedal? You will rarely, if ever need the brakes to steer with front chains.
I bought my first set from tirechains.com and my last set, delivered last week, from North States.
Both worked out find but both required modifications, which is routine because tire chains are designed to fit more than one wheel/tire combination.
I strongly recommend front chains for snow removal.
If you want the absolute best snow chains (and want to spend lots of money) get the studded Euro style (not for asphalt). Google Aqualine, etc.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
