Chains are sometimes (often, here in upstate NY) necessary.
They help little on solid frozen ground or "glare" ice......
might even be worse on hard ice as they tend to "skate".
They help a lot in deep snow and mud however.
I have double ring chains for two of my tractors and they work very well in mud as they tend to "self clean"
Without chains, the tread fills with mud and the tires become big smooth donuts with nearly no traction at all.
As for installing them, I have always "thrown" them over the tire and then moved the wheel a quarter turn to hook them up....I might have to re-tighten after a little use but chain tighteners keep them pretty snug.
I will say this......double ring chains are heavy and there ain't no way I could ever throw them over a 34" or 38" tire and wheel.
Not only is the tire higher but the chains are a lot heavier.
I have a WD and a D-17 Allis with 28" wheels so it is manageable, but, at 78 it ain't nearly as manageable as it once was! LOL

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
