Chains Front tire chains on 4210 with R4s dont fit

[Woody_NH]

I was thinking about the same set up as yours with front chains, do you only have them on the fronts or on the rear also? at first I thought the 3 link spacing was the way to go, but after seeing yours I think 1 link spacing would be better.
I have a 4310 with R4's and it looks like there wouldn't be a problem with clearance, did you have to reverse your rims, yours tires look to be about the same size as mine.
I do loose traction some times on steep drive even with 4x4 so I thought a little help up front would be enough, as opposed to the cost and work involved with rear chains.
Sorry for hijacking your thread jdgreg.

I have chains front and back: front wheels normal mounting, rear wheels reversed for the small but just enough extra clearance. Rear chains are H pattern to keep then from falling in between the treads. It is easy to install the rear chains but they were expensive.
