Traction Tire Chains

[sal64]

yes they damage the concrete i put down plywood. the way i put mine on is i lay one chain down straight flat on the plywood drive over the chain jack up the weel then put tractor in neutral grab the chain and roll it over the weel useing the weel to roll then put tractor in gear straighten it out,start at 12 aclock pull each side down,then i lay on flore clip inside of chain, then i try to clip outside using vise grips, its a big pain but its worth it it really makes a big differance.i put them on myself if you have some help you it would be little easyer.

I finally received my tire chains. It is sunny and 70 here today and all the snow is melted. Oh well... I will be ready next time.

The picture is while I was clearing my drive last week... with no chains. 43" in 10 days up that hill was not fun.

I have a 3510I Branson with R4's and they worked well in fresh snow no matter how deep but when it froze and turned to ice I had to use chains.
My RMV8 2 link rear set from tirechains.com weigh 75# each and the best way I found to get them on was to tie a short rope through the wheel and tie it to the end of the chains and drive them right up on.
It's still a bear to get them tight . The best way seems to be is to jack the tractor. I plan this fall before snow to put the BH on and use the rope and the outriggers to get the rear off the ground so the chains meet at the bottom. It's the only way I can think of to get them tight.
Got front and rear set and they work great on ice. I have only a dirt floor barn as my tool shed so chains aren't a problem for me.

Not fun when you have to spoon it out with just a bucket either.

But then, you get a lot of seat time.
