I went to install my chains yesterday and figured that since I had my new (to me)hoe on board that it would be a lot simpler job this year since I could just lift the tire with the landing gear and save all that backing and forwarding. Now this is a set of twist chains that I have been adapting and using on diferent things over the past 20 years, the past 3 on my 4300. If I get them tight they only clip the fenders now and then but thats the beauty of plastic.....
First we laid every thing out,then realized that the hoe platform is even closer than the fenders. We pulled a wheel,(yes they are loaded with ww anti-freeze) hoping to gain a bit on the offset but no luck. Has anybody out there tried wheel spacers? About one inch more clearance would make me a lot more comfortable as that hoe looks kinda unforgiving should a crosslink catch it. Pat V. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
