Driving tractor in winter

[X-man]

I didn't post this in the "Snow Removal" forum because then nobody will see this.

Given I don't have wheel weights or chains (can't afford them at the moment), if the roads in my trailer park are plowed, would my lawn tractor do fine driving in the winter? Might use it in the winter to get from one driveway to another faster rather than walking. I'm not gonna use it for any plowing, I usually just shovel it, because in my eyes real men shovel snow :tongue:.

I already have plans to remove the mowing deck in November (blades need sharpening anyway).

Should be fine just make sure to change the oil to a 5w30 oil cause in the winter the oil needs to be thiner.....

ya my mtd is fast. it goes about 8mph. i covered the deck with a tarp this past year and drove it around. i towed my buddy around on a sled with it in my yard the first storm we had! I also gave a ride to a guy that works down the road from me in my trailer with it! i want to pulley swap my craftsman and put more aggressive tread on the thing so i can have another mode of transportation in the winter! :laughing:
