One thing to look at is the mass of the implement that is attached to the tractor. The larger the tractor the larger the implement. One would have to use very large chains or links to control the sway of an implement on a larger tractor. One thing I noticed is that the chain links on a JD 855/955 are already at about a half inch diameter. If sway chains were used on lets say an articulated four wheel drive, the links of the chains would have to be several inches across to withstand the forces applied by the implement. On these tractors, I feel that there is not enough real-estate for these sway chains. The other thing to look at is that bolting on a piece of cast iron is probably more cost effective and uses less real-estate than the chain set up would.
