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 - Product Review: Lead Substitutes - by Mike Schordine. Lead was oriinally added to gasoline as an upper cylinder lubricant. It lubes the valves and seats. If you rebuild the motor, you could use hardened seats and valves, and unleaded fuel. But if your old tractor runs good, a simple lead substitute added to the gas is a perfectly reasonable solution. And, if you are like me, your tractor is under cover, but it sits outside. So with every temperature change, the humidity in the air collects in the fuel tank, in the form of water.
