Chains for Tow and Tire
Chains for Tow and Tire

A 3/8 diameter metal chain link is a good strength for most farm activities. It can help move broken down equipment and assist in rescuing livestock stuck in mud or fallen through ice.

A vehicle equipped with tire chains can help you navigate through ice, snow and even mud.  Be sure to store it in a dry protected space to prevent excessive rusting.
