I bought a set of rear tire chains for my Ford 1210 compact but when I went to install the chains It was apparent that the chains would hit the fenders. The tires are the original size as installed by Ford 29x12x15's. Seems kind of stupid that they would not have designed the tractor with the proper clearance to install tire chains? I have thought about reversing the rims to give me the gap but that would have the tires sticking out beyond the width of my snow blade making plowing difficult in deep snow. I guess I could remove the fenderes during the winter - but that would possibly throw wet/sloppy snow on me and the tractor during plowing. Purchase a set of narrower tires and rims I guess, but that would be costly. The chains werent cheap either, that would mean me having to buy a new set of chains to fit the narrower tire and the set I have now would be useless. Any other ideas or fixes to this? Just a plain old poorly conceived design flaw?
