Been plowing my driveway & yard for 20 years & have found chains to work best in west central Alberta. I ran a tanker truck company in the oilfield and had piles of half worn tripple Trygg chains. To fit my 853, 12:00 x 16.5 tires, I take all of the cross links from one side of the tripples & add them to the other side making a single with double cross links. Put these on the back & go plowing! Being that you use a blower, you may have to put them on the front as you may have more weight there. When plowing my front tires are usually up in the air to get my weight where it's needed. Also if you have a unit that has less tire to machine clearance you may have to add spacers to the wheels to get clearance or what my neighbour did is just put the wheels on backwards. that was good enough for the small area that he has to plow but I would recommend spacers if you're working commercially.</p></blockquote><p></p>
