Bought a 2038R this summer with a 60 inch snow blower and R3 tires. We have a 1/4 mile dirt (road base) driveway with a 12% pitch at one point near Winter Park Colorado. I can not get the tractor up the driveway in snow, even with all four wheels spinning, unless I plow it with my UTV first. I need a set of chains for the back tires. I like the idea of v-bar chains. I garage the tractor and like to help out a neighbor with his driveway. His driveway is paved with blacktop. Do I need v-bar chains? Really don't want to buy more than one set of chains at the prices they are asking on tirechain.com. Also do I need wheel spacers for chain clearance. Thank you
