I'm not sure what Chians are> grin. But if you're talking about chains, I got my last 2 sets from a local implement dealer, good used for $75. Asking $125. He also had a pile of scrap chains in a heap and said take what you want. Get them outta here. Either way you go, I would go with cross chains for snow and ice. I have no pavement where I'm at so I leave on all year. Good luck. Craig

Last June no one would bid on them. I watched a guy walk away from an auction with five sets for $100. Watch ebay and the classified adds on this page. Fed Ex will ship them for about $50.

As a rough guess, I would say that a new set would be in the 4-500 range if you are buying the Duo-Trac. They are a good snow and ice chain. You could also go for the Double Diamond or other forestry type chain which provide a full cover over the tire for protection and have spurs for traction. Downside is that they are quite expensive. Neither one is any good if you run the roads much. If it were me, I would go to the local industrial supply and buy new cross chain, side chain, and the necessary hooks and make up set of conventional chains. Then you don't have to worry about broken cross chains for a while. The other option that has been given by old is also quite good. You could likely make up a set for little or nothing, and if you don't use the tractor much, you'll probably not break many of the old cross chains. It's all a function of money and patience. I'm generally short on patience when it's -15C. Take care.

Sorry...this is the month that we buy window air conditioners. Tire chains are purchased in July.
Seriously though...they're heavy, lots of shipping costs...you should if possible buy them locally and take your strongest son to help you load them. There is a specific type that the fellows on the board recommend for snow and ice as I recall. Maybe they'll comment on them. Fred OH

I go to the county road dept and pick up tire chains that they don't use any more from the road graders and then just make a set for my tractors that way. Some times you can get them for free or little to nothing.
