I have tire chains on my LTX. I am using the standard turf saver tires with home made tire chains.
The chains are 2 link which were originally on a smaller tractor or maybe even an old blower. I had to extend the length of the chains, so I add quick links (the kind that open and screw closed). I believe they are wide enough. They buckle about 2 inches around the tire. One of the biggest prolems is that when I put these on, I have to pull them as tight as I can, then use the quick links to attach one end of the chains to the other.
What is happening is that whenever I turn, the chains are riding up. The inside of the chains is actually rubbing the axels at this point.
Any suggestions that won't cost me an arm and a leg?
thanks
