Aquiline Talon Chains on 2WD Tractor

Pretty much the same as my experience, Dixie. It'll spin them without too much trouble, but doesn't stay stuck.

I moved all the snow banks today, the chains worked great but I ran into a problem when I parked my tractor. I spun backing up the hill to it's parking spot and noticed that one of the cross chains had come loose...the small clevis must have come undone while I was working.


What have you guys had success with to tie the cross chains to the side chains where the U clevis goes out of the box?

I safety wire the clevis's on my chains. The screw on the clevis has an eye in it .

That would have been a good idea 1 clevis ago :laughing: I guess I'll just go buy another one and then safety chain the next one. :thumbsup:

I used an adjustable wrench to give the shackles a little extra to keep them from loosening up. I was thinking of going to a boat store or maybe eBay and buying some stainless shackles as the ones that came with my chains don't look to be of the best quality (kind of funny since the chains are top notch).

Mine came with a different set up, it uses these to link the cross chains. You drive the roll pin partly out, link the chains, then drive the pin in flush as it shows here.

My shackles have the screws lockwired, as Whistle said.

Mine didn't come with the link that you drive a pin in like your set. I uses a small clevis just like your boomer lever is held on with. When I put the chains on last week I looked at those clamps and thought to myself that they were going to be what I broke first but I didn't think it was going to be in the first week.:ashamed:

Chilly807 has Tellefsdal chains. The only place I have seen these links with the drive through pin is on the Tellefsdal website. I would like to have some.

My Tellesfdal's came with the links with the pins as well as this style.

To use them you have to turn the link 90 degrees to get the "T" shape to fit between the links. To do so the binders on the sides must be very loose. I didn't even realize there was a difference between the two styles, just thought they were spares.

With the Talons there is a ring on 1 end of your center chains that you run the other end of the chain through then you bring the chain off to the side and connect it to your side chains so you don't actually run over the connectors on their chains.
