Hi Aaron , Thought I"d mention something before you bought your chains. I"ve had two sets of double ring chains in the past. I"ve also run other peoples tractors with double ring chains. They were very good chains. I had the chance to buy a like brand new set of duo-grip chains for my Oliver 770. So I did. I"ll tell you what.......I"d never buy another set. Yes , they bite into the ice ok , but no better than , or maybe not even as well as the double ring chains. The thing I don"t like about the duo-grip chains is the ride. The double ring chains are way smoother of a ride. If I"m in third gear , or even worse...second gear , the duo grip chains will bounce the entire tractor up and down a good 3 inches , loaded tires and all. It flexes my seat springs to the max. 1st gear is slow enough it doesn"t bother. 4th gear is fast enough it doesn"t bother. But 3rd , and especially 2nd gear are terrible. Just a little heads up before you purchase your chains. If I were you , I"d buy the double ring chains , or the duo-ladder chains. I have no experience with the duo-ladder type. It seams like the extra cross link would give you a smoother ride.
