TIRE CHAINS

[NorthShoreYanmar]

Had a bad experience purchasing for my old Kubota. Went throut 2 vendors before the 3rd vendors chains finally fit. I can't find where I purchased from last. Do you have any recommendations?

Much thanks.

What style of chains are you looking for?

I bought a set of Trygg chains, specifically their SMT Flexi 8mm which are easily adjustable by adding and removing links without tools.

These chains are aggressive:

I am very happy with their fit.

Welcome to TBN.

Many types chain patter pick from,most of all do you want ice cheated chains?

Last time I purchased chains the manufacturer says you have to cut links to make them fit properly

Chains can be hard/awkward to put on and keep tight. I switched to studs on all four tires, they do a good job for me on ice.

Shouldn't be simply base on the tire size?

My experience has been that actual tire widths/diameters vary a substantial amount depending on manufacturer, air pressure, and tire wear, especially with deep tread like with a tractor. Chains claiming to fit a particular size may or may not

Ditto. Always standard 2-link ladders for front, and heavy-duty 2-link ladders for rear, and they have always fit perfectly. They come with about four extra links (beyond nominal sizing) on what would be the side rails of the "ladder", which you cut off after fitting to your tires. Don't forget to buy your favorite tensioner, with the chains.

Yes I started with the 2 ladder chains for the tractor and then purchased these studded chains.

Just went and picked up 3 sets of OFA Oko chains from Morquip in New Hampshire.
A set of 15-19.5's and 14.9-28's and 18.4-38's

Thanks for the replies. I'll give Tirechains.com a shot. The ones I had were vbar. They were phenominal. Only had them on the rears.

I run studded OFA EKO chains. They offer amazing traction on all surfaces, including ice. They're designed to run loose so there's no need for tensioners and they're easy to install. I got mine fron Austin Farm Enterprises in Bainbridge, NY.

Well heck I guess I'll state this again the "euro" style studded chains such as the OFA, TRYGG, and Aquiline Talons
are so much better then anything else on the market,
such as 2 or 4 link spaced V bars, or the various duo-grip tire chains.

These full contact studded chains will provide a superior ride quality and a traction increase that is several magnitudes better then the other tire chains on the market. With these chains tire slippage and chewing is greatly reduced.
On frozen ground, ice or hard packed snow the traction is almost the same as dry packed gravel and in some cases actually better.
Those that espouse the other styles of chains simply have not used this type of traction chain.

Sure glad we moved down here don't have to mess with chains
any more and if we get ice I'll just wait for it to melt. I had chains
for my pickup in WI 9.75x16.5 as you can see that is a long time
ago and that was the largest tire I could get at that time and still
have the chains and also tire chains for a VW bug that we purchased
in Italy
