Let's Get Rich by putting our collective minds together and coming up with an easy way to put tire chains on. Man I hate that job.

:laughing: It's one of those things we have to suffer with.

Though I just put my fronts on 2 days ago, pretty painless, lifting front up with loader, and I did have an extra set of hands to help.

Installing tire chains is a MANLY job...

Putting them on a tractor is MUCH easier than on a truck..!! But I pretty well use the same technique. Lay them out flat, drive onto the center. Pick up one end, and hook on a lug, then the other, and couple together...

Pull forwards, and back a couple times, take up the slack, 4 bungees on each wheel, 2 in, 2 out... I'm ready..!!

Really. I put a jack under and lift the rear end with loader down to balance and i'm done in 10 mi.

I put a set of TRYGG chains on my Massey 1533 rear tires this winter. It took me longer than the fellow in the attached video, but it went well and I was by myself. They are nice and tight without any tightening devices, and I have been logging with them. I purchased them at Canadian Chain in Skowhegan, Maine for $608.

As we say in Maine, they are "finest kind".

The only tractor we run chains on is my uncle's Long 460, 2wheel drive with a front mt power angle blade. It took about 15 minutes for me to put both chains on and tie off the links.
I put a jack under the rear of the tractor. With the tractor raised, slip the chains under the tires, pulled them over the tire, hooked the inside link then hooked the outside links. Proceeded to the other side and did the same. toughest part of the job was getting the chains off the hanger on the wall. Very easy to put on ! . . .John

2" x 6" or 8"-3' to 4' long. 2" x 4"cut to go across 2 x 6 or 8. measure distance between cross links, nail or screw 2 x 4 down. lay chains in notches, run tractor up on board, put chains on!
no problem of slipping off jacks-loader bending or any other of murphys law showing up.

You could package up two heavy duty bungee cords along with these instructions -
1. Position chains directly behind tractor wheel.
2. Using the enclosed auto chain installer strap, hook one end of chain and slide strap through rim slot. Attach hook to opposite side.
3. Drive tractor forward 2', stop and check alignment of chain on the wheel. Adjust as needed.
4. Drive tractor forward 3', repeat above.
5. Drive tractor forward until installer strap just under bottom of tire.
6. Attach chain ends and remove installer strap
