Review on Stens 180-428 2 Link Tire πŸ”— Chain: Enhanced Traction in Sleek Black Design by David Banks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Onward with the Ariens 24 SHO

These chains effectively solved the clutch problems I was having with my 2014 Ariens Platinum 24 SHO. Our driveway is long and uneven, stretching 150 yards through an open, cultivated field. The bumps mean I have to raise my scraper a little, which means I leave some snow behind every time I clear my driveway. It was the accumulation of this residual snow (left) that caused the traction issues. Yesterday while blowing I marveled as I traversed an area covered in solid ice and the only thing I noticed was a small sideways slide due to the angle of the earth so I was at the mercy of gravity. I never spun the tires during a side sled, and the tracks allowed me to maintain forward speed. My Ariens has an auto-pivot feature and I've found that it works better with chainrings than without, probably due to the consistent grip I now have. both wheels. For the record, I've never had any "major" issues with Auto Turn, just a bit of "wandering" on the bumpy, bumpy sections of our terrain. The overall quality of these chains is high and they were easy to install with good instructions.
