Tirechain.com Rocks!!!

After getting tired of slipping and sliding for the last time, I ordered a set of rear chains for my JD 4210 on Sat 12/19. Checking the status from UPS, looks like they will be delivered today or tomorrow! Just in time to watch the 20+" of snow melt.

Ah well, at least I will be ready for the next snow fall.

I had debated with myself weither or not I really needed the chains, the cost, what sites to order from, etc, etc. After one too many pucker moments on saturday, I decided enough was enough, so I bit the bullet and ordered them. I'll post some pics after I get them installed.

I agree, fortunately for me they are located nearby. FWIW, my employer is an ag equipment dealer. Tirechain.com's retail prices are better than what we could buy at wholesale.
Just a little advice. Look at the installation instructions before you attempt to put them on. It will likely save you time & much agrivation

Thanks for the heads up. I watched the install video when I ordered them, seems pretty logical. I'll probably jack up one wheel at a time and do it that way. I also plan on using the black rubber bungee straps as tensioners. They seem to work pretty well on the front.

Ditto. I also got tired of spinning with my JD GX345 garden tractor so I ordered a set of chains on-line on Sunday and they arrived at my door step today. The pricing and the service was top notch.

I also have a JD 3320 but at this point I don't have any plans for ordering chains for that as that does pretty well with the 4wd and my property is not very hilly.

I ordered chains for my car and Polaris Ranger Saturday from Tirechain.com and they were delivered today. Everything looks good. I even got an email today confirming the delivery.

I would definitely recommend them. -Keith

Here are a couple of pics with the chains installed. Man, they are heavy!!!! There's a little gap where I had to trim the links, but I'm very happy with the results. I expect they will help quite a bit.

I had chains on my old TC 30 from Tirechains.com and they worked great. The snow storm from last week really made me nervous. I live about a mile up an incline off the main road and my TC 40 with R4s had a time dealing with the heavy packing snow that we got. I clear about 2 miles of gravel road in our homeowners association. I almost slid off a neighbors drive last week. I called the president and he told me to order chains for my tractor as I don't charge anyone for snow removal. The association purchased chains for my tractor. I ordered them on Sunday night and they arrived on Wednesday at work. Yep! 140lbs of chains just in time for Christmas. I haven't installed them yet and we are supposed to get some ice for Christmas Morning.

Up here in New Hampshire the chains go in in late November and don't come off until April....

The V-Bar chairs from tirechains.com make my little CK20HST a tank on packed snow and ice. Now i don't worry about how "slick" my hill is. The nice thing is that with the chains, I can keep the blower down and blow snow going up the driveway as well. Cut my time in half.

Happy Holidays to all

This thread confirms my suspicions about tirechains.com and their less than honest tactices. In direct response to my recent post inquiring if others had negative experiences with their customer service, it appears that tirechains.com has set up a few "satisfied customers" with this thinly veiled promotion of their products. Come on, guys. It's easy to see right through it.
