Tire Chains
just wondering, i'v done a few different things in the past to hold chains on the tires on hte C/Cub and I was just wondering what you guys do to hold the chains on? I have used bungee cords, last year on the cub I kinda tied them on with string, and that worked really well, it kept the chains loose enough so they didn't fall in the tread, today i put the chains on the C and the bungee's seemed to keep them a little too tight, but without them, the chains just ride themselves off...
thanks for any input

Using ladder chains on AG tires I notice the cross links falling into the gaps between the lugs thus nothing is happening with the chains on there's no extra bite. The ladder chains work great on Turf tires. We need duo link chains for AG tires the extra angled cross link keeps the chain on top of the lugs on AG tires.
I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.

thanks guys, i guess i'll just keep an eye out for the right chains, cause the ones I have for my C and Cub are skinny, but i really don't have the money to go buy a couple of sets i guess i'll just keep the bungees on...
sodbuster, i got 2 SETS of chains from a TT and that's what I use on my C, they're really nice, nice and really heavy duty but they are still a little skinny for the C but as you said, i bet they would work on the Cub really good
Matt, from my expirence it don't matter about the treads being at opposin angles, the chains just fall inbtewwen anyways.... i guess I just need to find the happy medium between too tight and too loose
thanks for your input guys

It depends on the tread patter of the AGs Matt. Some are ok, and some are laid out such that the chains will slip into the grovves.Matt Kirsch wrote:I've never really noticed that the cross chains completely fall in between the lugs. The chains run straight across the tire, while the lugs are at opposing angles. Keep the chains tight, and while they may fall in between on one side, they will lay up over the lug on the other side of the tire.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

On my jeep with the MET's I would let some air out to put the chains on then pump them back up. I had one set of tire chains that was tighter than the rest. I just put the chains on my cub as tight as possible.

This is the best picture I could find showing a set of chains COMPLETELY between the lugs. These chains weren't doing anything at all.
Nancy came here 7 years ago as an eBay Cub with all new tires and 3 implements. She's worn the sickle mower ever since. The chains, plow, and blade left.

thanks for the tip Bill, i'll try that some time
yup George, that's basically what happens with mine, like i spin for a second, and they just all go into the lugs, then they are pain in the neck to get out cause they are so tight
