After years of struggling I finally figured out a way to mount chains on 38" tires in just a few minutes without assistance:
- Lay the chains out on the ground directly behind each tire.
- Use a small ratchet strap threaded thru each wheel to cinch up the first cross chain tight to the tire (the connector ends of the side chains must be left free).
- Now slowly drive the tractor forward 3 - 4 feet at a time. Recenter/re-space the cross chains as required as the chains drag toward and wrap around the tire.
- Continue until the chains are fully wrapped - stop with the ratchet strap the at about the 1 o'clock position. If you do it right the chains will now be centered and side chains' hook/connectors will fit together easily.
- Finally undo the ratchet strap, install the tensioners on the outer side chains and you're good to go.
