You need to shorten the chains to better fit your tires. There should be no slack in the side chains. Then put those adjusters on a shelf somewhere.

You don't need to load the tires with all that chain on them! :dance1:

Come to think of it - I never had to use side tighteners on my chains either. But they were tight and a real ***** to instal. With the bigger tractor I no longer need chains. HA - the way winter is going here - no snow - fighting soggy driveway until mid April.

Cant shorten them without removing a cross pc...im hooked to the last link before the cross chain...they are equal on each side...tires have tubes and are loaded already..it goes fine until the drive ices over and then when doing the hill...
Is there a problem running them this way

I'd say no unless they hit the fenders.
My CUT also is fitted with 2 link (DIY) ice chains and they are awesome.
Real smooth ride and never get stuck. (I do have a good set of DIY binders inner and outer.)

They are nowhere near touching the fender...the only way I could shorten them would be to cut one of the cross chains off

Then do like I did.
Binders inner and outer and never look back. (and never get stuck) and a nice smooth ride.
