Hi Phil,

Here's a place you can check out the styles and sizes available and get an idea of prices. I have some that are very much like the Duo-Grip on my Oliver (16.9x26 tires). They are not that good on ice. If I had to do it over again, I would get the V-Bar Duo-Grip instead. I have a set on V-Bar style chains on my plow truck and they seem to work pretty well, even on ice. The best would be large studded skidder chains if you have tires large enough to handle them - but those things are well over $1000! I don't care much for the regular ladder style chains for standard tractor treads. They tend to get into the tread grooves and their effectiveness is diminished. They would be a good choice on turf tires though. If you buy them on line, be prepared for some high shipping costs. The things are heavy in the large tractor sizes.
