We finally got a decent amount of snow - 14 inches, so I used the hoe with an old Fisher 8 foot plow that I mounted to my forklift frame. I was a bit concerned that the backhoe would tear the lightweight Fisher apart, but I moved slowly, and everything worked fine.
The TRYGG SMT Flexi tire chains were a miracle. One of the driveways that I have to plow is on a hill, and thanks to a misunderstanding with a family member, it didn't get plowed before the slush froze. As a result, the entire driveway is glare ice, four inches thick.
The hoe with the Flexies on front and back climbed that driveway as if it was bare pavement. No tire spin, no traction issues, no slipping, even if I had a load of snow on. They aren't cheap, but I did find that White Mountain Chain's prices were half of any other dealer.
They are heavy as hell, and tough to put on, but entirely worth it if you have to use your hoe in slippery conditions.
