Best chain lengths?

If you can tie an improved clove hitch knot the extra length isn't a problem but is there when you need it and only 1 chain is needed.

18" x 5/16" with grab hooks both ends gets used more than any other chain I have.

Inch? Or did you mean Feet?
Inch, it works to lengthen or shorten either my 1/4" x 12' or 3/8" x 14' individually or in combination, it creates a loop to attach a clevis any where I want, it creates so much versatility, hands down the handiest piece in the chain selection.

Can the smaller lengths be safely joined to make a longer length? If so, how do I safely attach the
chains together?

I mostly lift and pull rocks. What is better to do this, a slip or grab hook?

Also, what do I need to buy for my tow bar for ataching a chain to it for pulling?

Grab Hook on one chain connected to a link on second chain.

You can cinch with a slip hook.

Also, what do I need to buy for my tow bar for ataching a chain to it for pulling?

Tow bar or Draw bar? I would use a clevis attached 5/16" Grab Hook for your B7800, 3/8" Grab Hook for larger tractors.

You would also like a 3-4 footer with or without hooks for pulling saplings and stumps.

Chains slid off this rock like water off a duck. Estimated @ a ton, it took the jeep, trailer, come-a-long and one tired out square1 four hours to move about a mile ;)
If I ever do rocks again I envision using tire chains to form a sling like configuration.
A twist clevis works well to attach chains to the drawbar.
