So, what is the verdict? Home made studs ($0.50 ea) using 18-8 SS sheet metal screws- #14 hex washer type, Maxigrips ($1.10 ea) or tire chains (about $250/pair, on EBAY)? I have brand new R4 tires, and don't want to tear them up, particularly. I hope to put regular car chains on the front.

Looking for the best price on a set of rear tire chaine for the upcoming snow season 17.5L X 24

Ok , finally took some measurements. Measured chain width at 24 inches. Used this measurement to locate where chains should fit on the tire sidewall. Then measured the circumference of the tire at this point. Tire circumference is 120 inches ,and the length of the chains is 110 inches...

Measure the dia. of the tire about 3/4 up the side wall. That's where the chains wil ride. I still think you can make up the nine inches you are short. I went thru the same issue with my chains. We cut them then thought we measured almost 1.5f feet short. The rungs would catch on the lugs...

The tire lugs might be keeping you from "walking" the chains snug, and in place. Try removing the tire and installing. You will be amazed at how much more snug they will be. Fasten one end in place with bungie cords, pin the tire between your knees, and work the chain on the tire. I bet...

Need some serious advice . I purchased a set of " H " style chains for 17.5x 24 R4 tires. I have tried to install them three times already , and come up about 9 inches short on the final outside connection. Any hints as to what I may be doing wrong? Chains are straight , and not twisted when...

Well, here's how they do it in Norway. Gives a whole new meaning to "Tire Chains" http://www.boreme.com/boreme/funny-2011/how-to-get-tractor-out-of-mud-p1.php Tom

...12 points in Ontario. Still poking around for used but nothing is coming up. New in Winnipeg starts at $2100. I've got snow removal dialed in. The blower is a beauty. Tire chains are working great although I should add more rungs. Maybe I will toy around with the new welder this weekend.

...Bolt cutters will remove the links, but you won't be able to reuse them. Personally, I haven't intentionaly removed the crosspieces from tire chains; but I have reattached and added them. I usually get whichever chain splicing link is cheapest and easiest to use, and is close to the size of...

Hi Guys, new here. I just replaced my old reliable B1700 with an L3700SU. I had just purchased tire chains last year and now I need to extend them. They are 71" long now(22" dia.x 11" tire) and I need to extend them to 119" to fit the bigger tires(38" dia x 13"). They are the 2-link style(23"...

L1801 I wasn't getting the bite needed for blowing snow. The rice tires were less than adequate at providing traction. I found a set of dual ladder chains on Kijiji. $50 One set would cover 2 tires. They came off a semi truck. I moved the "rungs" over to 1 set, gives me twice as many rungs...

I would like to shorten the pto lever, often I bump it unexpectedly. The low/neutral/high lever on the left side gets in the way as well. The 4 layers of clothing makes on/off cumbersome. I bumped it into neutral the other day at the left lever. Took me awhile to figure iut the problem as I...

...here out side in shirt sleeves during the day as the temperature is around 50 degrees and is "warm" for him. Anything that works for tire chains is great and if it works for you it is all that counts. A hint on the decompression lever is what I used to do and that is to use a product call...

Thought I drop you a line, update you on the progress as of late. I bought tire chains off kijiji. $50. They came off a semi truck. They are referred to as dual ladder. 1 set covers 2 tires. I removed the rungs from 1 side and moved them over to the other side. This gave me twice as many...

I've lost a pile of studs now and have abandoned the tire stud idea. I bought a pair of tire chains but they ride between the lugs of the tire, not helpful. I bought a set of used rims and tires, 19.5 inch rims. The tires are readily available and much cheaper than the current 22s. Chains...

I think you can run some light truck 15" snow tire chains and will find they offer mountains of traction with the rear diff lock engaged. You might find chains for $75 to $150 per pair. I have tire chains for tilling and snowblowing on a B6000E and it works well, traction is not the problem...

Great site! Lots super info,ideas and people. I'm patienty waiting for delievery of my very own Orange Tractor. A B2620 TBL with skid steer QA 72" blade & 60" snow bucket. Seems there was a holiday or something!! One of many questions I have...

I don't actually own the L295DT....just did the motor rebuild on it - so, getting the tire size will take a E-Mail to the owner for the answer....but I'll get that to ya. The owner uses his tractor for both commercial (construction) and personal use, so I'm suprised he's left the turf tires on...

I see your L295DT has turf tires. Just bought one I'm planning to restore that has ag tires, but I'd like to switch to turf with chains. What is the turf tire size configuration? Thx.

Got my lower lift arms straightened out with proper angles at the ball ends. Standard 26", Cat 1 drawbar works fine, with a couple of inches to spare on each side. Snugged my check chains/turnbuckles up so there's no chance of snagging a rear tire tread.
