I drove my new 332 for a few hrs before I broke a rear tire chain cross link, again/still/as usual. These chains came w/ the loader, right from the dealer, and are 5/16". I SWEAR I am trying to baby the machine by not driving hell-bent and not spinning around like a deranged fruit fly. I just don't get it. My neighbor has a machine about the size of my old one, had the same chains as my old machine, and has many hours on his without a break (all four tires are chained, too). Periodically, of course, the front wheels are off the ground so I can scrape hard pack w/ the bucket, but I just can't imagine that that adds so much pressure on the chains that they should be breaking. Other than going to 3/8" on the rear, does anyone have any ideas not yet mentioned? I am a tad frustrated. Thanks again. john</p></blockquote><p></p>
