Had $50 HD card. HD had the 5/16" 20 ft. Grade 70 for $38. Got two and used Christmas money to boot!
Affordable chain?

You are going to have a hard time finding a "good" price for a relatively special chain (at least for farmers). Try this link:

If you can find a military surplus store in your area you might check there. I found some 1/4 inch that was rated at 5000 lbs. It is lighter weight like the others stated, the only down side is it has the bent hooks like all military chain and was only 10' in length. I took a 10' cut it in half and connected it to a whole piece which made 15' and these work great as tie down chains. Like all military stuff it is good I am sure I have had it over its rating because it will stand all a 3500 4wd truck will pull.

Harbor Freight has the 5/16 G70 20' with two grab hooks for $20 on sale starting 1/1/12. Here is a link to the coupon http://images.harborfreight.com/hftusa/itc/7851/images/147.jpg Although the coupon is for the Inside track club most just take the coupon and don't ask for a membership card. I have bought several of these chains and they are great.

Twenty feet of chain is a lot for one tie down. I had two of the Loew's twenty foot chains cut in half and ends added for not too much. Find a place that sells wire rope. I could have had one cut into four and still had enough to tie my tractor down, it would have been neater too.
