Anyone run chains on Boomer 55. Looking at buying one and want to know beforehand whether I'll need spacers. Or if they hit the top of the wheel well. Loaded up the rear tires would be about 700 lbs. so I'd have the dealer install the spacers before pu instead of trying to man handle 700 lbs. Probably would run 4 link ladder chains possibly with roller J hooks as most of my plowing is on pavement. Are there any chain types that would work better on R4 tires on pavement?

There are folks that have the LS XR41xx, same tractor, that run chains without issues and no spacers. Maybe give that forum a look and see what they are running.
