Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Pond Boss ATV / UTV Tire Chains

On my Deere Garden Tractor, I have chains for when I'm using the snowblower. (snowthrower?)

Anyway, they are a PITA to put on, and they'll want to loosen up over the course of the winter. I found that if I put 3 or 4 small elastic straps w/hooks on the outside of the chains, holding them tight over the sidewalls/center of the rim, they stay on the tires better. Letting out some of the air makes putting them on easier too like Tony said.

Didn't use it last year at all, and I haven't put it on the tractor yet this year.

Temps stayed in the upper 40's/low 50's all night long, and it's supposed to get close to 60 today. The ice on the small ornamental ponds at the house is gone this a.m. and while I don't think the ice on the pond will disappear, it sure looks weak and thin.
