How Farm Tractor Tire Chains Work

Tractor tire chains add hardened steel cross links across the tread to create mechanical “bite” in snow, ice, wet grass, loose soil, and muddy conditions. The right chain pattern improves forward pull, reduces wheel spin, and helps maintain steering and stability under load.

Important Fit Notes (Read Before Ordering)

• Chains are sized to the tire, not the tractor. Always match your sidewall tire size.
• Deep-lug ag tires fit differently than industrial or turf patterns. Lug depth and shoulder shape can change the needed chain size.
• Inside clearance matters. Confirm clearance to fenders, brakes, 3-point components, and steering linkages.
• Chains are typically installed on the drive axle. Follow your tractor manufacturer guidance for 2WD vs MFWD/4WD setups.

Popular Farm Tractor Tire Chain Styles

Duo Grip Tractor Tire Chains

FAQs: Farm Tractor Tire Chains

Are tractor tire chains sold in pairs?

Most tractor tire chains are sold as a pair (two chains) for two tires on the same axle.

Will tire chains fit deep-lug agricultural tires?

Yes—but deep lugs and squarer tread profiles can require a different chain size than a shallower tread tire with the same labeled size. Always match chains to tire size and tread type, and confirm clearance.

Do 4-ply, 6-ply, or 8-ply tires require different tire chains?

Yes. Higher ply-rated tires (such as 6-ply or 8-ply) often require a different chain size than standard 4-ply tires, even when the tire’s labeled size appears the same.

Higher ply tires typically have thicker carcasses, stiffer sidewalls, and squarer tread profiles. These differences change the actual mounted dimensions of the tire, which can affect how a chain fits and seats.

When selecting tire chains, consider tire size, tread type, and ply rating together. In many cases, a higher ply tire may require a larger or alternate chain size than a lower ply tire with the same printed size.
