Those heavy 4 link chains must ride rough. I like the 2 link chains better because you get a smoother ride. The 4 link and 2 link refers to the number of links in the side chain between the cross chain attachment points if you don’t know that.

Yes, they do. I almost bought a new set this year because how much these chains weigh. Great for more weight in the back, bad for me installing them. Something to think about when buying chains. Like I said in the original post, I got them for next to nothing so I will make them work for me. They do the job.

I have loaded rears on my L2501hst R4s with ladder chains from tirechain.com. They work fine.

I use more aggressive diamond chains on my Polaris Ranger. They are smaller and cheaper.

My L2501 was a bit dangerous with no chains. Dangerous as in sliding sideways On a slight road angle.

I have been blowing my 1/4 mile driveway with no chains for 39 years. Turfs and now the R-14’s. I do have a couple hills, one that gives me trouble sometimes( snow conditions ). I just blow downhill for that short distance that the hill is present. I would try without chains to see how she handles your drive. I thought turfs were good in snow until I had the R-14’s. These things are AMAZING in the snow. I will get the fireplace ashes out occasionally for icy spots.

Do you plow much with your Ranger?
