2032r Tire Chains

Would you care to show a pic of what they look like mounted? If not, that is okay.

It may be a while. I don't have them on and the tractor is currently split for a new clutch.

Thanks. What size and type did you get and why?

I got the 14-17.5 3/8" 2-link ladder chains. I could have used the V-bar style on my gravel driveway but I have some paved driveways that I do so I skipped the V-bars.

No offense meant here, but jgayman's pic of tire chains is a perfect example of a set of chains way too big for the tires. Side chains too short and cross chains way, way too long. Again, that is my opinion.. and may not be held by all. so just sayin.. for archival sake so others can at least ponder the issue.

After I read your previous comments I knew you were going to say that! heh heh I agree with you. They do seem kind of big for the size of tire. I appreciate your comments. I do like the way your chains fit. I kind of wish I could find something a but more suitable. While these chains work fine, they are HEAVY, they are H-E-A-V-Y, they are a MOFO to install each year and you kind of bump along as you go.

I'm not getting any younger and would like to find something that is easier to install.

Thanks guys. I can see those being good on some of the swampy areas. I do my neighbors paved driveway so that is also a consideration. Install weight will be more important with each passing year...

i got some 2 link chains my 2320 from Tirechains.com as well and have been very pleased..

I also had to drop quite a few links to get them short enough.. Then when i got them tight i have more 'gap' between the ends than I prefer but it doesnt seem to make a difference in traction.. you can clearly see the gap in the pic.. I have them tightened down pretty well since there are hydraulic lines running near the rear tires..

So to get a set that look like beenthere's I have to build them myself?

Might be able to measure your tire and spec the length of the side chains and the length of the cross chains.
Expect the variety of tire sizes and user-desires keeps them from having/making all sizes but may come close.
