wagner: Just throw chains over back of tires, spread them so they drape over tire as you move tractor forward. Move until chain comes under tire and fasten as tightly as you can with just hands. Take tractor for a drive, stop so your fasteners are just coming off ground. Retighten using hands only, your chains will be tight enough for best performance. There is only one good reason for tight chains, that being driving fast. Your chains will give the best performance when loose enough so as you drive they are actually turning backwards on tire, about 4" every revolution of wheel.
