Have a Gravely ZT60HD. Bought a set of chains so that we could mow a steep bank. Problem is the chains will not go on because the tires sit right next to the frame and there is not enough room for chains. Gravely was of no help. Is there modifications for this.

Different rims with more off set.
More aggressive tires without chains.
Rope snow chains.
Homemade tire chains made from smaller chain.
Cut the frame :laughing:
...just brain storming

Some operators have replaced the rear tires with an AG type tire to increase traction on slopes. Bear in mind that when the AG tires loose traction, they do serious turf damage.
I have customer that has 25 degrees slopes and I slowly back the machine down the hill and mow straight up. It takes more time, but it is the only way that I can do it. Another consideration, what is the maximum angle that the engine can operate and not loose engine oil pressure.
