I had the same fear of ags, but now that I've been using them, I haven't had much trouble with them while mowing. I have 8.5" ags on my 169 and their filled with CaCl. Only problems are in the wet spots, if you have too many of those I'd probably recommend against them.
That said, turfs with chains did well for me while clearing snow before I got the ags. I even did a plow day with turfs and chains.
And my Simplicity 700 has 6-12 Firestones (the zig-zag tread) with no chains and 25# weights on each side and hasn't gotten stuck yet.
And, um, all these threads you're starting in The Sandbox? They're all on topic for the main topic. Only stuff that belongs in here are things that don't have anything to do with Cub Cadets.

CaCl? The Visual C++ library or Calcium Chloride?
Sorry, been programming for the last 3 weeks. Mind is stuck in that mode...
