Chains on a 1552?

[DMF]

I posted a question in the snow removal forum anout what type of chains to use with my ag tires. After researching this further, however, I don't think I have the room for chains. My tire size is 16.9 - 26. People are saying that I need 3" of clearance and on my 1552 the front edge of the fender is 1 1/2" away from my tire (maybe even a little closer on the right side where I bumped that log last spring, doh!) I'm thinking that's too close....

Does anyone here in Massey land run chains on their 1552 that is set up the same as mine? If so, what is your experience?

Thanks!

You did front only? How well does that work?
