How tight are your chains?

Thanks, I was hoping that was the answer. Q. where did you buy yours?

You'll need to know what type and size tires you have.

If I didn't have a friend in the tire business,I would have gotten them from www.tirechains.com also.

Only tight chains on my equipment on the rare occasions I use them .......... tractors, trucks, ATV's, UTV"s. :thumbsup:

Thanks. I'll be sure to do that. Right now all I have is the pamphlet. It says 18 x 8.5-10 R4 for the front, and 26 x 12-12 R4 for the rear.

Per tirechains.com, you'll want 2.5" clearance between the fender and tire to fit chains. That may mean you'll need to swap the rear wheels side to side or possibly require spacers.

When do you expect to get your tractor? You'll want to ensure there is clearance, or can make clearance (see paragraph above) before you order your chains.

When I first bought my 3320...due to the lack of clearance, I installed screw-in studs in lieu of chains for icy conditions....once I installed my wheel spacers this summer I was able to install chains....my chains of choice (since the 70's) have always been from Canadian Chains in Skowhegan, Maine Canadian Chains [Home] Of course, the fact that they are only about an 1.5 hour drive from here means there is no shipping cost..just the pleasant drive across Rte 2 ....and I agree with what appears to be the general consensus..the tighter the better (just ignore the cursing while they are being installed)

Them are some good looking chains, mine just go straight across my tread pattern... that would probably explain my bumpy ride... I would have liked to had a set like yours!

i have 2 link ladder chains and they are also a bit bumpy when driving on concrete, but i don't even notice them when driving on gravel roads pushing snow.
