The only time the chain needs to be tight is to raise the mower for transport or to back into tall stuff. Take the top link off and raise your lift arms to the highest point you plan to mow at and then measure for the proper length of chain. No problem.
I'd say this but add, then raise 2 more inches and that's the length the chain needs to be so that when you do lower back to your cutting height it has a couple of inches of travel to follow the ground some.
