I got the new square-link, diamond pattern chains mounted on my Honda Pioneer 520. They JUST made it on, but once on, the fit is very good. (as noted in an earlier post, the Wesco site recommended the size I bought, the guy at Bluejay thought that size would fit, but normally recommends the next size up.) The guy at Bluejay says they normally do not run these with chain tensioners/bungies.

On my tractor with the OFA Eko 8 chains, I normally drive them on with a rope tied to the rim, as Lou suggests. For chains of that size and weight, that is the easiest method I've found to put them on.
These chains were light enough that I decided to follow the procedure shown in their video and see how it worked out. I think with chains this light and on a vehicle I can easily push around by hand, this
might be the quickest way. By leaving the UTV in neutral, I did not have to climb in and out at all: just drape the chains, push the UTV forward the amount shown in the video, and hook things up.
I should have done one their way and one with the drive-on method to compare. I guess that will have to wait for next year.
