I just bought some new tire chains because I have lots and lots of snow up here. At least 2 feet deep to try to clear. I bought some Duo-grip (H pattern) chains made especially for Ag tires and after looking in the archives on here got them mounted reasonably quick. About an hour for the first one and half an hour for the second one. Anyway I have found that the snow still wins the battle. I had to use a Cat track loader because of ice underneath. The tractor works good to clean up after but the Cat is slow. One of the chains is staying on top of the lugs pretty good but the other one has got hooked on the tire lugs and a bunch of the cross chains are down in the lugs. This has caused the chain to go tighter. I was getting unstuck and spun the tires which I think caused the lugs to grab the chain. Maybe I just happened to put the chain on where this would happen? Should I loosen the chain and turn it slightly on the tire so it has a better chance of staying on top? Both chains were tightened on the same links. I put a couple of rubber straps on the chains just for good measure and barely stretched them. Maybe I should take them off? Has anyone else had this problem? The chain still grabs but mostly on the links of the H and not on the cross chains because they are inside the tire lugs. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Dave
