You are absolutly right. We were looking at chains for our Belarus 820 (We had problems with it and ice, but our little gas Cat 22 bulldozer fixed that and came to the rescue...), and we spotted a single ladder chain sitting around. When we draped on the tire to see if it will fit, I noticed the chains like to fit between the lugs; not good if you ar looking for traction. Ladder chains work rather well on our Case backhoe, but that is because the lugs on the tires are slimmer.

logging skidder chains have a ring in the center that the other chains link to. One thing I might suggest with the existing chains is "Crossing" the ladder chains so the two form a "X" at the middle. this might solve the problem.
