Walks through laying out, draping, fastening with slant connecting links, break-in driving, and re-tightening, plus a DIY wire-locking tip for shackles. Best for LX2610 owners considering this specific chain brand.
An owner-operator in central Ontario sharing firsthand installation experience on their own tractor, with no apparent commercial relationship to the chain suppliers beyond named customer-service shoutouts.
If you have a small compact tractor, it's highly likely you'll need wheel spacers to get enough space between the fender and tire sidewall for these large 3/8 inch chains.
Drive 4 to 5 minutes to let the chains settle, then undo the fasteners, move them up one more link, tightening the inside first, then the outside.
Some say if the chains fit the tire correctly you probably don't need tensioners. The video tries them without tensioners first, with the option to add them later if needed.
Take steel wire and wire up the loose connecting links and run wire through the shackle eyelet to hold the pin in place if it tries to turn.
