Forget big $$ chain tensioners - Save time money and aggravation on tractors and snowblowers etc

Tire chains are an indispensable thing when there is mud or snow all around. You have good chains and good advice. I use them on a passenger car, especially when I need to climb a clay hill when driving to a country house. I use chains from TRYGG Norway with steel spikes on the chains themselves. In Norway, there are mountains everywhere, so they certainly know what chains are and why they are needed. I always carry a couple of quick-release chains from THULE in the trunk of my car. All these chains rust very little because they are made of a special metal alloy. And they are not afraid of abrasion. I was shocked by the logging equipment when they are dressed in chains, I think they can handle any mountain. I tighten the TRYGG chains with a cable around the circumference into the eyes of the rings. I use the rest of the chain as a spare option for extending the chain if the size of the tire used is larger.

@Tihiroprjckuh9000 the large chains I purchased at a salvage yard, someone had sold them for scrap weight and the owner allowed me to buy them back for the cost of scrap weight. They were too long and I had to shorten them to fit my tractor, but I was very happy to get them for such a good price. Part of my driveway is paved, so I wouldn't use those nice logging chains anyway because I think they would tear up the pavement. A relative uses those cleated logging chains on his 2wd tractor and he is able to go pretty much anywhere.

@@reusefull Thanks for the answer! Great chains! They are made of boron-alloyed steel. New chains (pair) cost about $240 per rim 15 tire 185. Very similar to Trygg. Very durable. I will try to make a brief overview of my chains in the near future.
