    Guys,
    Any recommendations on where to buy DECENT rubber wheel chocks for a tractor (when there is no trailer attached) ?

    Places here sell plastic ones and I want the real rubber ones...

    Thanks! :biggrin_25525:

    Sadly wood slips. I won't get into discussing how I know that...

    BIG blocks of wood will slip. 2x4's will work in a pinch (if you are on fairly level ground). Even though I have a good wheel chock (like the one pictured above), I'll still grab a 2x4 to use in the driveway if it's easier to get to.
