About tire chains & tire preasure.
For early season storms and when on hard
paved serfaces I run recomended tire
preasure or on the low side. It allows the tire
to form around the tire chain and force it to bite
into the snow on the surface and not slide.
When I am working on a hard frozen ice pack
after several plowings I run a higher tire
preasure to force the chains to bite into the ice
pack.
Depending on the tire chains you are using
you can get much better results and a
smoother ride by using tire chains based on
"two link spacing" rather than the common /
cheaper "four link spacing" . By having more
cross links you are constantly riding on chain
rather than droping off and then have to climb
back on a chain crosslink. Better traction and
a better ride. All of my units from the
smallest self propelled snowblowers to my
yard tractor to my bigger 60+ HP tractors and
my trucks have chains on two link spacing.
For my large tractors that run double ring
chains I have to buy two sets and take the
links from one set to make the other set to
two link spacing but it is worth it.
If you want to see how two link spacing is
different than four link spacing you can look at
the "tirechains.com" web site.
I hope this helps you

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
