Aquiline chains

chuck172 · Jan 9, 2015

I bought a set of 15195ampc from Ken Jones Tires 10/30/2014. The chains have never been taken out of the bag. Never installed. Sold the tractor. I bought a new tractor. Rear tires are 14.9x24.
Can I increase the length of the smaller chains?
Can I buy parts for it?
What are my options?

Since 15x19.5 is such a popular size tires for CUTS, I would think your best bet is to sell them and get the proper size your new machine.

Could they be lengthened? Sure with the proper materials and a MIG or TIG welder and some skill. But do you have access to any of those?

I would are say the majority of midsize CUTs use 15x19.5 All of the Kubota standard L machines L2800,L3200,L3400,L3800, L3301,L3901. Most of CK series Kioti's Bobcats, etc.. lots and lots.

You may be able to trade them back in to the dealer for the new size. Particularly if they are unused.

I'll give them a call, thanks

Yes you can add to them. If they use a special link to connect the two ends then you can just use that same link to connect the new section of chain to the old one. The dealer should be able to get you spare parts to extend them. But you may find that it's not any cheaper than selling what you got at buying new.
