You have not said whether the chains are just big old chains or transportation grade. Bigger is not always better, or stronger. Be sure that you start from a tight chain; no slack. Jerking a chain is an invitation for trouble, and people have been hurt and or killed from flying broken chains, cables, and nylon straps. You have not said how much power you are putting on the front of the chain. Smaller tractors are usually lighter and will spin more readily which is a safety valve for the chain. A hard hat is a good idea.

When taught, be sure the chain is not in a plane, that if the chain were broken, it could become a high speed projectile flying at your back, neck, or head. High platform, row crop tractors are often safer for this sort of work because of the greater distance between the operator station and the drawbar than is found on utility tractors.
