chains for now
Well spring has sprung, and I bet a lot of folks are tearing into their tractors making improvements. I know this is old, but I wanted to say that in order to get through winter in a thrifty way I DID buy some chains with a high number of "cross members" or whatever you call them. They came with a four spring tensioning device that looked pretty well designed, and so I did two things:
I shortened the chains until they had very little play (cold chisel, hammer, rock)
Then I also added the included tensioner.
This way I felt that I used advice from two helpful contributors to the thread. When I can afford the Carlisle All Trails, I think I am sure to get them. We will see if the chains do much damage to our very basic lawn. I have attached pics- one is my ten year old son driving uphill. He cares nothing for tractors, but he did appreciate the power of the CC! We were hauling out firewood that I had cut earlier in the week. Cheers!
