Spring is coming and once the snow is gone (if ever), I want to return to clearing the land. Mainly clean the old over grown logging trails and hall logs from the back to the front for fire wood. I might cut & split the wood on location then haul in the bucket.
I'm in southern NH (not far from RCS Landscaping I think) and even months after the snow is gone, part of my property is still wet. All the snow this year isn't going to help matters.
I have an old ('81) Ford 555, TLB, 2WD. The engine is strong and trani is rebuilt. The tires are OK but not great. I'm considering putting chains on the back tires for better traction and to extend the life of the tires. It seems everything for the backhoe is expensive and I'm not sure it will be worth it.
"Will the chains noticeably increase the traction?"
Thanks in advance,
Ken
