Rear Chains For B3200....

[gltrap54]

Needing some input on rear tire chains for my B3200.... I've never ran chains on it in the 12 winters I've owned it but given the hill ground here I probably should break down & buy a set for the rear... Is there any brand that stands out? What chain design should be considered? Also, who uses tensioners? :confused3: TIA

I’d look on tirechains.com. Best pattern are the diamond shaped one, but any pattern that provides a lot of ground contact works. I just use rubber bungee cords for tensioners

You will need spacers on your wheels to use chains on your 3200.

I like the vbar chains, they really grip on ice.. from tirechains.com and always use tensioners, they keep the chains from slipping or moving out of place..

If you don't have much tire to fender (on the inside) clearance, you might want to consider rubber tire chains. I've used them for a number of years and my neighbor has also had good success with them. They ride smoother, fit where conventional chains won't and provide adequate traction. Both tractors have turf tires on them.

Rubber Tire (Snow) Chains - Traction without damage.

They may not be for everyone and I've used metal chains in the past.

Something I need to consider... I never knew there was such a thing...

I too recommend tirechains.com. You will find information about the various styles available, the advantages and disadvantages of each, etc.

Tensioners are not needed if chains are properly fitted and installed.
