Choosing the Right Tractor Tire Chains
Elizabeth Morgan
Tractor tire chains come in many of the same models,
styles, and designs as other tire chains. Depending
on the size and brand of the tractor and tractor wheel,
a variety of tire chains can be found.
Like most other types of tire chains, there are many
different options available in tractor tire chains.
The most popular choice, and the most widely recommended,
is two-link spacing with an optional V-Bar. Two link
spacing means that there is a cross chain every second
side chain link. Basically, it has twice as many cross
chains as the four-link spacing, which only has a cross
chain every fourth side chain link. The extra chains
provide for a more steady, smooth ride and more steering
control. The optional V-Bar chains are extremely helpful
on ice, hills, and other hard-packed conditions. While
V-Bar chains are available in both two- and four-link
spacing, they should not be used on pavement since they
can damage the surface of the road.
Kubota Tractor tire chains are available in the basic
two- and four-link chains. Kubota recommends using tire
chains and wheel weights in icy conditions. Even when
using tire chains, drivers should still drive at a speed
slow enough to maintain complete control of the tractor
at all times.
For farm tractors, dealers recommend duo-group cross
tire chains. These chains are not connected in the middle,
so the pattern does not fall between the tread bars.
Duo-group cross chains are recommended for field work,
deep tread, off road use, and hilly conditions, making
them the perfect choice for farm tractor tire chains.
