Any suggestions on where I can get tire chains for my tractor?

I plan on using the front plow in the winter

I'd watch Craigslist & Ebay as they are on there quite often.
Make sure you know what size tire you have on your 317.

Your Deere dealer has them.

Do they have to be from Deere?

NO, maybe Fleet Farm or some other type of lawn care place might have them.

Spend the money on two link chains. Four links suck for traction and they are a REALLY rough ride. Most of the chains at TSC/Farm and Fleet are two links.

Scooter, What is the two link verses four link? Is it the cross chains over the tire are attached "every other" side link? Thanks, Larry

Larry,
You are correct. Cross chains over the tire every two side links compared to every 4th link. The chains that have the cross chains on every 4th link let the tire hit the ground between links causing a rougher ride compared to the chains with cross chains every other side link. Clear as mud?

Thanks John, Mine are two link on my 317 and I assumed all chains were the same. I learned something new today.
