Choosing the Right Tractor Tire Chains

Tractor tire chains come in many of the same models, styles, and
designs as other tire chains. Depending on the size and brand of
the tractor and tractor wheel, a variety of tire chains can be
found.
Like most other types of tire chains, there are many different
options available in tractor tire chains. The most popular
choice, and the most widely recommended, is two-link spacing
with an optional V-Bar. Two link spacing means that there is a
cross chain every second side chain link. Basically, it has
twice as many cross chains as the four-link spacing, which only
has a cross chain every fourth side chain link. The extra chains
provide for a more steady, smooth ride and more steering
control. The optional V-Bar chains are extremely helpful on ice,
hills, and other hard-packed conditions. While V-Bar chains are
available in both two- and four-link spacing, they should not be
used on pavement since they can damage the surface of the road.
Kubota Tractor tire chains are available in the basic two- and
four-link chains. Kubota recommends using tire chains and wheel
weights in icy conditions. Even when using tire chains, drivers
should still drive at a speed slow enough to maintain complete
control of the tractor at all times.
For farm tractors, dealers recommend duo-group cross tire
chains. These chains are not connected in the middle, so the
pattern does not fall between the tread bars. Duo-group cross
chains are recommended for field work, deep tread, off road use,
and hilly conditions, making them the perfect choice for farm
tractor tire chains
