Tire chains and 3-pt. pallet forks; best brand/place to buy?

David P · Jan 4, 2012

I have an International Hydro 84 tractor that has either 14.9-28 or 16.9-28 rear tires (filled). I plan on using the tractor as a sap collector this winter. The property where it will be used has some pretty serious hills on it and it's just a sloppy time of the year to be in the woods so I am looking into purchasing tire chains in order to get better traction.

The pallet forks will be used to handle one of those 275-gallon caged water tanks which will be my sap transfer tank. I have a loader on the front which should help act as a counter-weight.

Any suggestions on where/what/etc to buy?

For the tire chains, I recommend www.tirechains.com. Good prices and a knowledgeable staff. I suggest you call them to discuss the best type of chains for your usage.
Can't help you with the 3PH pallet forks...sorry!
