[AT] Tractor tire chains

[Mike Sloane]

I have duo-grip on my Ford 860, and I have never had any problem with 
them anywhere. For turf type tires, you can get away with "ladder" type 
chains, but for ag lugs, the ladder type fall in between the lugs and 
are useless. I strongly recommend the duo-link/grip type.
