Thank you all very much for your valuable knowledge. I will pick up the free set of chains. They are a ladder-type pattern. The set I was going to buy were H pattern. I guess I will have to join the x links so they dont get settled down in the tread. As I may have told you, I have never used chians like these before (large equip). Naturallay assuming (bad) that I would tighten them with bungies cords, I now know this is the last option. I saw on the internet these tensioners with heavy spring that form a spoke-like pattern. Do any of you have good ideas for this purpose that are cheap? How about turnbuckels or some kind of similar tightening device? I have been told to get the inside of the chains as tight as possible, then do the outside. This is all I know. Once I get them on, do I drive around a bit, let them settle and them tighten them? Or drive forward just a touch, and tighten , and repeat this until they are very tight? I will try to attach a 45 gallon drum with rocks on the back of the tractor somehow, but unsure how to do this. This is all I have readily available and cheap. The draw-bar has been taken up by the snowblower attachment, and there isnt much other readily accesible "meat" to attach this kind of weight to. I have a friend how is a welder and coul;d possibly get him to weld me up something like a frame. I like the idea of wheel weights too, are you guys suggesting something liek steel plate cut to diameter of inside rim?
Thank you all very much for your comments. Much appreciated - happy farming! and hoping for good summer growing seaon. john

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
