I have a new set of the expensive, Norwegian diamond-shaped chains for my current tractor with 33x12.5x15 rear tires.

I'm looking at a 2320 - the spec sheet says it comes with 31x12x16.5 tires... anyone have any idea whether the chains I have will fit? Even if I have to removes some links, it'll save me $400-500 to keep the chains I already have.

I can't seem to find a conversion chart on the internet for the Deere size.

Go to tirechains.com and enter both tire sizes and see if the same chain model # pops up. It might be worth a try.

Even if the chains fit (with some modification), ensure that 2320 has adequate clearance between the tires and fenders.

Your new tires would be 2 in shorter and 1/2 in narrower. Should have to cut 6-8 in off the length.

Sounds like I might be able to use them, huh?
