With 3/8 grade 70 you are well covered. This chain is rated at 6,600 lbs so you could use it on a 13,200 lb tractor. Many people give that 4 point rule as true for any size tractor but federal law says 4 chains for over 10,000 lbs. Your state rules may differ but it is hard to say. Straps can be used on tractors BUT you MUST use edge gaurds and this is the point that most forget about. Flip over binders while dangerous are legal. One point to remember is your chains must be marked grade 70. If the tag falls off or the paint wears off they will be considered grade 30 in which case they are only good for 2650 lbs or a 5300 lb tractor. For your 5500 lb tractor you can use.......... 7/16 grade 30......3700 lbs 5/16 grade 43......3900 lbs or 1/4 grade 70.......3150 lbs
