I just purchased a used 2011 Kawi 750 brute force with warn winch & moose plow. My driveway is about 1/2 from the road. There is a part of the driveway that is very steep. Should I plan to buy snow chains for the quad?
Try it without. If you have a paved drive chains are gonna scratch it up. I've run them both ways. You can also throw some weight on the rear rack, it does help too.

It sounds like you are going to need chains and maybe even put some weights on the back rack. I have plowed with and with out chains and plowing with chains makes a huge difference.

This might be a dumb question but... Do I get them for front & rear, or just rear?
This is what I have always been tolled and this is what I do - If it's an automatic put them only on the rear and if it's a manual you can put them on the front and rear.

To be honest, if its paved and you don't see allot of ICE then no chains would be needed.
Paved and Ice, chains will make a big diff.
Gravel or dirt, chains will help allot as well.
For the most part, use 4wd and low, throw 80-100lbs on the back rack and you should be good to go
(PS, chains on the rear only if you need them)

my vote would be for chains as well they make a big differance but what type of material is the drive how much snow are you pushing and due you have drifts and such?
Pics would help.
