got a wheeler with a locker last year didnt need chains it towed my permy across the lake and was plowing snow the whole way never had an issue....not even on glare ice the yamaha grizzly is the way to go im my opinion
I have chains on the back of my artic cat as we have miles of bare ice out here. I measured my tires, went to walmart and bought some light truck tire chains. I got out the bolt cutters and cut the chains to proper length. Done deal, will never wear out those chains, about $50
This is the best way to go IMO. If you can come up with some full sized pickup chains and cut them down with a grinder or bolt cutter, they work much better than those light chains you buy for ATV's. I've made quite a few sets this way. A couple problem I've run into, some ATV tire profiles just won't work with vehicle tire chains (big, round tires like on the back of older Sportsman or really wide tires) and the struts on the front of older Polaris ATV's won't allow you to run chains at all on front.
This is where I got mine. They have held up very well and show very little signs of wearing. I use them on trails in the winter as well as on the ice for fishing, and some plowing.
Did you feel the need to put these on your tracks as well? I'm thinking that I'll hold of studding the tracks until I have a feel of what they can do on the ice. Plus, with the possible exception of the first couple of weeks if even then, I'm seldom on glare ice with the snow that we usually get around here.
Yep, can't use them on roads in the southern half of the province, on ice no problem.
