You just need some hints on what to do. I take mine on and off several times each year. I don"t like running them when I don"t need them. 1) Try to keep them straight when not in use. They become a tangled mess easily. I have made hanging brackets for all of mine. I just took a flat iron eighteen inch long, drilled two 3/8 holes in it. Then I welded a bolt on each end to stick out about six inches at an angle. I lag screwed these on my barn wall about four foot off the ground. I take my tire chains and hook one on each hook spread just like they where on the tractor. I then take the other end and hook it on the hooks with the chain folded in half. You then have your chains hanging up to dry and stay untangled. 2) To install the chains I just lay them out on the ground flat. I then drive my tractor on to the chains so that one end of the chains is in the middle of the tire. Take a piece of wire and put it through the inside of the rim. Hook it to the tire chain on each side. Then just back up or pull forward (depends on how you have your chains laid out) until the chains are clear around the tire. Stop the tractor and remove the wire. Hook the tire chain together with the latches. I then usually drive back and forth several times to let the chains form to the tire. I then tighten the latches up. I usually use the wire to fasten the lose piece of chain so it does not hit the fenders. Job DONE.
You are good to go without having to lift the tractor or the chains. I can install a set faster than it took me to type this. LMAO
