Plowing a path through deep snow was a daily chore on farms in the cold months, and this scene shows a tractor fitted with chains on its rear wheels to grip the slick ground. The chains bit into packed snow and ice that would leave an unequipped machine spinning, so a tractor set up this way could keep a yard, lane or walkway open when other traffic stopped. Pictures like this one record the practical gear farmers improvised for winter work, and the chained wheels are the detail worth noticing.
