[QUOTE="brdgbldr, post: 129043, member: 7474"] I run chains on all 4 tires. Not sure why they would recommend chains on the front. If you put pressure on the plow the front tires will loose weight on them and the back tires will gain weight. I have seen guys plowing with the front tires in the air. Some people don’t like to run chains on only one set of tires because the front and rear tires run from the same drive. Technically, when you add chains you increase the tire diameter and therefore one tire will spin quicker then the other causing drag or skidding. However, since you are on snow this really should not cause any problems. [/QUOTE]
