JD 2320 w/ loaded R3's, iMatch
Can someone point me to a good source of chains for the turf tires on my 2320? How should I translate sizing for the wide tire? Most of the auto parts stores I looked at advise chain size based on the standard dimension of car / truck tires.

Also, should I get chains for the fronts, or just the rear tires?

Thanks for the help.

I ran chains last winter, front and back on my R4's in icey conditions, worked great. I just bought them from the dealer, they had them in stock and saved me from running all over the place to find them.

Just bought a set of (pricey) Tellefsdal A.S. chains (Norwegian translation: "Super tractor chain with T-coupler) from the dealer. They ran $400 - and at near dealer cost, too. I too have a 2320, but with R-4s. If I had turfs, I could have gotten away with the style chains available at places like tirechains.com for about $100-150. But the traditional cross-style would "fall" into the tread of the R-4s.

Mine look like they have big letter "O"s along the tread. The links are hardened 3/8" and have welded-on knobs. Man do they dig in. But it reinforces the fact that I've got to get years of use out of this machine to justify the expense.

Efreet -

Just noticed you're in the Champlain Valley... me too. Got mine at Harvest Equipment in Swanton. Best dealer experience of any motorized item I've ever bought. Same as when I bought a GX335 from them a few years ago. Beyond the least expensive of the area JD dealers, the service is supreme. In fact, just yesterday I went in looking at the front hydraulic blade - the salesman discouraged the expense and suggested a rear blade instead. Rather than just tell me what I need, he said, "how about this - I'll bring you a blade and you can try it out. If you don't like it, we can look into the hydraulic one." Well, I live about 45 minutes from the dealer. He delivered it tonight - and by the time I got home, he had installed it for me. Left me a receipt and said either mail them a check or call and tell him to pick it up. Not only had he discounted the blade $55, but no delivery fee either. Wow!
