[QUOTE="jklingel, post: 13983, member: 1409"] Experiment #1 shall commence. I was able to buy some grade 70, 3/8" chain and end links for $190. That is enough to make two tire chains into 2-link now, instead of the 4-link they were, plus about 7' of chain and four hooks left over. The 3/8" chain mic'd out at .400 to .405, while the original cross links (probably grade 30, according to two chain people) mic'd out at .365. It will be interesting to see how this hodge-podge fits the tires, how it rides, and how it performs. If all goes well, and the side rails do not get torn off, I may just get more grade 70 and move the grade 30 all to the front chains. If I break the grade 70 links, I think I'll just quit and give my loader away. If I can manage a few more hours of hard pack work, I'll post what gave, or didn't. [/QUOTE]
