Looking for chains for my Tracer 800sx, it's runs fine plowing snow the past 3 years until todays 8" of heavy wet snow.
Rear tires are 26 x 11.00-14, I am surprised ATV/UTV chains are double what I paid for my 4x4 truck.
What are you running?

Do they offer the cable style with little could of steel that look like a spring around the cable?
Rubber bungee style tensioners??
I started using this style on a 2wd pick-up a few years ago and they ride a bit smoother than regular chains and install in less than a few minutes per tire.
Are you using any weight in the back? Dad uses about 700# of tube sand in the rear of his Ranger when plowing.
I would use weight and chain the front tires.

When the cross bars wear out, I turn them, and splice then together.

You need a chain plyers, It spreads, and closes the clevis.

What are you running? Cabelas has them I believe. I took an old set of truck chains that I had and cut them down to fit my Honda Big Red rear tires that are 26”x14”rim. These things work.

I just cut down pickup chains, without ice bars. Be sute to inflate the tires more than usual. Chains will wear holes in the side walls of utv tires, if under inflated!!

Can't remember the brand but they are a heavy old school vbar chain. Run them on the front non drive tires for steering and on all 4 back tires of My 4x6 gator diesel. It goes well plowing snow with a few hundred pnds in the back.
Location Western NC,
after alot of other places
