That's funny!
Well, almost broke
I decided to sand my ice chunk covered driveway in advance of more crappy weather tomorrow. My JD 214 sits in my tractor tent on a piece of carpeting. I attached my sand spreader and started to roll out of the tent. I didn't get very far! The combination moisture and cold caused this:

The carpet was frozen to the rear tires and chains:

I was stuck pretty good until I unhooked the sander and slowly backed up:

The carpet and tractor are now free!:

My 12' x 20' shed is carpeted. Works out pretty well too. Never had a problem with tires freezing to the carpet either.

It is an old drop spreader I modified. I drilled sheet metal screws into the solid rubber drive tire for traction and extended the handle so I could reach it with the weight tray on my Craftsman. I only use sand, mainly because I never use salt on the driveway but also because I think the rust is all that's holding the spreader together, so salt probably isn't a good idea!
