In Reply to: Chains on ice posted by bja105 on February 01, 2015 at 06:17:06:
Chains are needed for traction on ice. That is the main reason to sue them.
Installing them is not that hard if you use your head. I just lay them out on the ground like they would be on the tractor tire. I then back the tractor on the chain stopping with the center of the tire/axle right over the latch end of the chains. I then run a #9 wire thru the rim. I hook each side of the chain to the wire. I then back the tractor up slowly. The wire will hold the chain so it wraps right around the tire. I stop when the ends of the chain are around the tire. I then hook the latches to hold the chains together. I then drive the tractor around a little bit and retighten the tire chains. They will loosen as they work there way into the drive lugs.

I had a rented farm that was two miles away. I only had one feeder wagon at that time. I would take the chains off at the home farm and drive on the pavement to the other farm and put the chains back on. Twice each day for over ten winters. I got to where it did not take 5 minutes for both chains.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
