Default Looking for places....
Good afternoon guys! I would like to know if there are any good sources to buy new tire chains from. I was thinking two-link for my QL 1450. This tractor has 8.5" rims, with 10.5" turf tires mounted. So I would be looking for chains that fit the 10.5" tire, respectably.

Any recommendations will be accepted. I'm afraid to ask my local Kubota dealer and Cub Cadet dealerships. Though, we all know its the cheap guy who spends the most!

Thank you kindly!

John

Tire chains.com has good prices on high quality chains, I've had a few sets on different tractors and I've always been happy.

I bought my 2 link chains through Miller a few years ago.

Nice looking set up Hoss! So I'm relieved about the cost of what I feel I would need for a chain...that is a good price before shipping! I had a set of 4 link with the straight cleat on the chains a while ago. These were second hand, and had done an awesome job for me a number of years. The 4 link began to wear thin between the links after many, many years of service, respectably.

So, I now have a new set of the twist style two link on my model 72 running 8.5" tires. I have personally noticed a difference in grip, bit, and over-all performance between the two different styles. But anyhow, the 4 link worked great, but I noticed a smoother ride with my new 2 link twist style chains.

As of now, I have the IH wheel weights, 10.5" turf tires, and 1/4" wheel spacers for my 1450 that I will be setting up as a snow plow tractor....as soon as I get it together. I'm starting with getting what I need for my 1450 early in the year as it might just take me finding one until this December to get a nicer blade and sub frame!!!

thanks again for your help and suggestions!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
