Winter Tire Tips for Your Compact Tractor

The arrival of winter weather brings a host of new challenges for small acreage owners and hobby farmers who are serious about getting maximum performance out of their compact tractors. These must-have machines are used for a variety of winter work—everything from hauling firewood to feeding livestock to pulling your neighbor’s car from a snowbank—but one application stands above the rest when Jack Frost settles in for the season: snow removal.

Wheels or Tracks: Which is Better for Snow Removal?

Skid steer loaders (SSLs) and compact track loaders (CTLs) are two extremely popular pieces of equipment for snow removal. Both machines are super maneuverable, allowing them to operate in areas like tight parking lots, and are able to move snow in a variety of different ways—such as pushing, piling, and lifting. Both these machines excel at tough jobs and work in harsh conditions, but the question remains: is a skid steer or a track loader better for snow removal?

Tire Damage Detective Work 

Tires keep valuable construction machinery moving, contribute significantly to their productivity, and represent one of the most costly consumables in relation to both compact and heavy equipment alike. One way you can make the most of this investment is to routinely check your equipment’s tires, understand what signs of wear or damage are saying about their use, and use that knowledge to extend tire life (maximizing performance and minimizing cost) or find the best replacement tire possible (forestalling future problems).

Selecting an Application-Specific Tire for Snow 

As competition in the snow removal industry grows, the use of equipment like telehandlers, industrial tractors, wheel loaders, and skid steers is becoming more prevalent by snow removal contractors looking for an edge over other operations. Compact equipment provides numerous advantages over the traditional pickup and plow setup, including better visibility, more maneuverability, and fantastic versatility thanks to the wide variety of available snow-removal attachments. All of this adds up to increased productivity and efficiency and improved bottom lines.
