[QUOTE="Land-Tech, post: 13853, member: 1679"] If you have a military surplus or maybe you can find on the net chains for the six -by with 20” wheels they work pretty good.I get a pair for seventy-five dollars and they hold up better than anything I've tried and I've tried them all. They are long so you have to cut to length. the links have hooks connecting to the side chains so when you break a link it's easy to replace. all the extra links and hooks I carry in the truck and a few in the bobcat. The links are long enough to allow the side chains to to lay further down the sidewall. If the links to the pictures work you will see that the chain links are loose so they don't break as easy when you spin the tires or try to turn .I do use bungees as a rule but you don't have to.I can usually get two seasons out of a pair with I buy a pair each year and rotate the rear chain to the front and put the new ones on the back. With the extra links you could add links between the ones already there but I've found I didn't need to.
