There are no specific terrain that i thought of, I just wanted to hear some general opinions about chains on a 4-wheel drive. It's a shame that I did not have my new MF this morning so I could test it, I had the worst conditions you could think about. The ground was frozen and it was raining, so it was a wet icy layer everywhere. When I tried to reach my old tractor I had to use 4-foot drive. And when i tried to go around corners with the tractor it felt like ice-dancing. The steering did not work at all, i had to use the brakes to get in the right direction. When I asked my dealer about chain's he suggested that i should buy chains only for the front-wheel's because they where cheaper. I'm not a person that only listen to one person so i contacted AGCO and asked about chains only on the front wheels and they did not recomend it, because the front wheel drive could be damaged.
