    Just a word of caution Madjon - if you've used chain from your local hardware store you might like to keep a close eye on them as they might wear quickly. You'll be pretty sad if they break and wreck your guard.

    There is a reason they are so bloody expensive, pretty sure that the ones we made up for the work tractor had 7K+ of materials in them.....

    Yep, snow chains are usually manufactured from hardened steel, hence the cost.

    Madjon should get a few uses out of those but unfortunately the good idea might become false economy in the long run.

    If I was in an area where chains are needed daily I would happily pay for 2 sets of snowsweats.
    These are for paddock/track,or if the Lewis is marginal perhaps.
