Thank you for posting, I am in the same boat as you with a sloped driveway. I look forward to your video during/after plowing some snow. 😀

Thanks for the video, I just ran into the same exact issue as everyone else here 😂. This will really help!

Thanks for posting, I bought the chains and didn’t know what to do with the clearance issue, even considered removing the brakes which is obviously not safe. Order the spacer and tensioner just now, except I am from Canada it is a lot more expensive and won’t be here for at least a month =(

Thanks for this Jeff, same issue (sloped driveway in VT) and looking forward to using the plow more easily in deeper snow. Will report back w/ any other tips if I discover for those stumbling across

thanx for the info, one thing is i feel the chain should have the hooks with the flat side to the tire

I think you're right! I switched them when I put them on this year.

Hey Jeff, great video. Can you advise where you bought the chains and spacers (sizes) for the Ryobi? Thanks

hi, we have some blades that may fit your mower, do you need?

[@FERGI12]

Do u drive all year with big tires and spacers or do u only use this set up for winter ?

[@JeffTerrace404NotFound]

All year. No problems mowing with the spacers on.

[@johnbeatrice5955]

This in Canada or states ? The pricing for spacers is brutal
