Well, I tried installing the ladder chains from WALCO and there just wasn't enough clearance on my BX25. Next, I will check out the cost of wheel spacers. (Probably not cheap.)

No but then again, I do not go fast on these surfaces. Also my tire pressures are not high which I am sure absorbs some of the shock.is The other thing is with ags is that the chain itself does not go much beyond the lugs and when the chain rides between lugs, the lug is taking up alot of the pounding. In all instances in gravel I can see the chain marks in the gravel so I know they are aiding in tractive situations. When there is ice under snow, my bare ags spin. The tractor just keeps pushing with chains in the same situation.
