I'm gonna stud my solid skid steer tires

Hey all,

We built a chicken barn last summer and the crew that built it used our skid steer. After they were done, I plugged about 15 holes from nails. After that, I got a screaming deal on a set of 12-16.5 solid skid steer tires and have been running them on my 317. They're a little rougher riding than the 10-16.5 pneumatic tires, but I can live with that. They lower the center of gravity, increase the ground speed, and NO FLATS!!!!

We got our first snow fall this weekend and I've discovered they have another disadvantage - they make the skid steer a pig on ice. I initially thought I'd just throw chains on them, but they rough enough without chains. I imagine I'd rattle the teeth right outta my head. So now, I'm seriously considering studding them. Here's what I'm cosnidering - http://www.maxigripstore.com/products/Maxigrip-ice-studs-HM30.html

Whaddya think?
 

Hey Roger,

I had considered them as well, but was told that they'd wear out really fast. How long could I expect them to last? I guess I wouldn't have to worry about them breaking off because the tire are solid...

Thanks
 
we use hex head screws on our fork lift tires [hard rubber] all the time they last good as long as you stay on ice or snow and off concreat we run 2 inch in
 
Maybe cheap but what if he starts to throw sharp screws all over the place? I see all sort of flat tires in the future.
 
Could be a problem with flats in other tires. Depends on how well they stay in and where they are being used.

Ice racers using them on ATV's etc.

Snowmobiles use some mean looking studs as well.
 
Hey fellas,

Thanks for the input. I might try out the sheet metal screws at least for this year. If they wear out too fast, I'll just grab a bag of the carbide studs for next year.
