Farm or the large open double ring chains are meant of open fields with deep snow or in muddy conditions. Bus or truck small ring chains are better for on ice as they normally have squarer edges.

Even chains spin with little or no traction gains over proper tires. On blacktop often turf tires give the best traction. ....

I use duo-grip or something like that with very good success. It is like the standard ladder chains but each pair of cross chains is linked together by a pair of 2 link connector chains. This keeps the cross chains from slipping between the tractor lugs and serving no purpose. The idea is to get very high psi on the chain contacting ground to force it into the ground/ice and give traction. ....
