Chains are sometimes (often, here in upstate NY) necessary.
They help little on solid frozen ground or "glare" ice......
might even be worse on hard ice as they tend to "skate".
They help a lot in deep snow and mud however.
I have double ring chains for two of my tractors and they work very well in mud as they tend to "self clean"
Without chains, the tread fills with mud and the tires become big smooth donuts with nearly no traction at all.
As for installing them, I have always "thrown" them over the tire and then moved the wheel a quarter turn to hook them up....I might have to re-tighten after a little use but chain tighteners keep them pretty snug.
I will say this......double ring chains are heavy and there ain't no way I could ever throw them over a 34" or 38" tire and wheel.
Not only is the tire higher but the chains are a lot heavier.
I have a WD and a D-17 Allis with 28" wheels so it is manageable, but, at 78 it ain't nearly as manageable as it once was! LOL

Today's Featured Article - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Secondary Ignition Wires and Distributor - by Curtis Von Fange. In our last episode we spent the entire day checking out the spark plugs. Is that efficency? Actually, it took more time to explain than it really did to do the inspection. At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
