    YEAAAAAAEEEE ! I found Otter and Hammer - time to jump start to 'ol chain gang !!!!!

    I'm about to admit it here and now - I'm old and worn out - I'm on the verge of buying a Volvo 670 and I'm pretty sure I'm not leaving the yard with it unless it has 'On Spots' for chains. I've wrapped enuf wheels.

    Go back to last years posts....these were discussed at the beginning of last season. Good guess on how many posts back they are though! If I remember right....CO allows them.

    Co. allows them, the largest company I am aware of that uses them is Western Dist. and Trans. in Denver. They are fine if the road is snowpacked/icy the entire way, however, if you encounter bare patches, reduce speed to under 5 mph to avoid tearing them. Per recommendation of a Western Driver.

    Autosocks are worthless. Good for one use and they tear up.
