Mike...
Don't hold me to it... but you should be able to purchase Grade 70 - 14' lengths for under $30 (TSC?)... & at auctions under $20... /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
(Remember, you can also use the higher grade chains for other duties as towing etc...)

I snaped an economy 1/4 chain pulling a tree with my M6800. Now I have a 1/4" chain, grade called "system 7". I think it is like the strongest grade. Now the tractor spins the tires before the chain breaks.
It is easier to handle and store a smaller chain. It is as strong as and costs the same as a bigger chain of lower quality.
Get a piece of box tubing and weld a floor in it. Bolt it on to existing tapped holes and you have a convienent chain bucket. One on each side of my tractor. Leave a 3/16" slot on each side of the floor for water, leaves to drain.

Hi John
My wife is a retired college professor who's specialty is communications - the subject everyone loves to hate until they realize it is a skill that is constantly in use. She has often said "we never know the extent of our influence" and, just as I am sure that is the case with many of her former students, I believe it is also the case with the safety information you so generously pass along. This young lady's project is a testimonial to that fact and is another example of the many positive contributions made by many TBN members.
Thanks.
Bob
