Need a source for chains

[AJ Morris]

Hello everyone, I have the Titan Trac Loader II 25x8.50-14 on the front of my 2620.

There don't seem to be a lot of options and I'm curious to know if anyone else with this setup has a source for chains that will fit these tires.

Ideally I'd like a box or diamond pattern, although I could live with a 2-link ladder. That said, v-bars or studs are a must-have.

FWIW, I did try a set from TireChains.com that will theoretically fit a six ply R4, but they were not even close...

Thanks -- AJ

I've only bought repair parts from these guys ... This is all they have besides the 2 or 4 link ladder chains. . .https://www.tirechainsrus.com/product/tire-chains-for-john-deere-sub-compact-tractors/?attribute_pa_full-size=25-8-50-14

While not a fun job, chains often have to be 'fitted' to the tires by adding/removing links, I've had to do it twice now (two different machines). A 2.5lb hammer, a cold chisel to spread links, and big a$$ pliers or channel locks to close them make it doable, and you only have to do it once. You can even buy a special tool to rework them, but I didn't fell the need for it since I had the other tools already.

Are you anywhere close to Lewiston?
Or do you have a north 40 anywhere near you?
They have chains for tires that size.
Heck if you were anywhere close to me I'd give you mutiple sets, they are the same as car tires.

Yeah I've had to do that myself a couple times but only with ladder chains. I'm still hopeful I can find some diamond pattern and I have to think those are a bit more fiddly. It's also good when they are at least reasonably close to begin with.

Thanks for the tip! I'm outside Moscow and the next time I'm in the valley I'll have to swing in. It looks as though they might also be able to build a custom set too.

I had an old set from a Subaru that I bodged to fit, but the plain round wire didn't hook up real well on my bobsled chute driveway... Hoping to find something pretty aggro.
