They had a cross chain every 4th side link, so I added cross chains to have one every other link.

That way seems to sit on the Ag style tires better. Before the cross chains would work their way down between the lugs on the tires, but now, being closer together, there are cross chains up on top of the lugs where they might do more good.

I put the plow on about a month ago, but I was dragging my feet on the chains because the weather has been mild. But the weather foreguessers say that we may get a little weather this coming week, so I drank an extra cup of coffee and got to it.

I operate on the theory that if I'm not ready for snow, we will get plenty, but if I'm ready, it might not happen, so now I'm ready, maybe that will scare the snow away. I would be very happy to have put the plow and chains on and not need them at all. Not likely, but it's worth a try.

I've had a lot better luck putting chains on turf tires. About the only thing they're good for, besides not tearing up the yard
