I got a set of rear ladder chains from tirechain.com for my TC 30 with R4 tires. It took a few hours to properly adjust the chains. During the course of the day, I tightened the chains several times. My main concern is the lack of clearance between the rear fender and the tires. The chains just clear the fenders and the 3pt hitch. I had to cut off several links off the inside of the tire to keep the extra chain from hitting the fender. I have the chains as tight as possible against the tires. I did not get the chain tensioners with the tire chains. Should I consider the $45 chain tensioner or not? Does anyone else use tire chains on a TC 30 with R4 tires? I don't want to damage a fender so if anyone has had a bad experience with chains let me know.
The tire chains do help with traction. I can now operate the tractor in 2wd over terrain that used to require the tractor to be operating in fwd.
