Chains on Argo conquest

[Beardefence]

Anybody out there ever use chains on their argo? I have been thinking a set of chains on theConquest would be handy in the fall when you don't have a lot of snow yet you get icing conditions on the trail. I was just moose hunting and we had this type of conditions and a set of chains i thought would make a big difference on the steep hills. I think one set of chains on either the second or third set of wheels. I have runamucks and ITP mudlites on my conquest 4 of each the ITPs are on the center four tires and they work good. I have a set of tracks but there wasnt that much snow that you needed tracks. Oh yah my 18 year old son shot his first moose. I hope to get some video from my buddy of me pulling the moose with the argo out of the bush and 2 miles back to camp.

I use chains on the middle two weels because the backcountry clay is like potters clay and clogs the tread. The chains work well.

I'm considering tire chains for running around ice fishing. Do you have problems clearance; do the chains hit each other?

It seems like 4 sets of chains would be unstoppable but hard to steer, two sets on the front and back tires would be good for pushing over things but still hard to steer, and two sets in the middle would be easier to steer but perhaps no good when the front tire is up on something. And then, why not just one set on one of the middle?

22X11X8 is $40 shipped (per set) on ebay which doesn't hit my saving for tracks budget too bad.

It occurred to me that it might be a good idea to have a set on the front or back to help pull back up onto the ice if one happens to fall through.

Winch is on the front and back will be higher in the water.

Hmmm.
