The machine is an 09 Suzuki King Quad 750 with 5' plow, the rear will be chained up. I like the idea of chains all the way around, but also don't want to stress the hell out of the front drivetrain. __________________ A bunch of project rigs,current: 73 & 79 FJ40s, future: 64 FJ45 04.5 Dodge 2500 CTD, 04 VW Jetta TDI

Did it on the shop buggy whilst wrenching at the ski resort.

Zero problems. I say go for it. Make sure you check them from time to time; risk for damage is higher up front.

Happy plowing.
