Stens 4 Link Tire Chain 180-368 20x10.00-8 / 20x10.00-10

What It Is

The Stens 180-368 is a set of 4-link ladder-style tire chains designed to add traction on snow, ice, or mud for lawn tractors and zero-turn mowers fitted with 20x10.00-8 or 20x10.00-10 rear tires. These are purpose-built for winter or wet-season use, not for regular mowing.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your tire size is stamped on the sidewall as either 20x10.00-8 or 20x10.00-10. These chains will not fit 20x8.00-8 or 20x10.50-10 tires—width and rim diameter must match exactly. Check that your rear tires are spaced far enough apart (at least 1.5 inches of sidewall clearance) so the chains don’t rub the deck or frame. These are aftermarket chains, not OEM, but fit most common lawn tractors (e.g., John Deere, Cub Cadet, Husqvarna, Craftsman) with the listed tire sizes. Measure your tire’s actual width and diameter with a tape measure if the sidewall is worn or unclear.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need to jack up the axle, drape the chain evenly over the tread, and tension it with the included cross-link hooks. Allow 30–45 minutes for the first install.
• Tensioning is critical: Loose chains can slap the fender or deck, causing noise and damage. Re-tighten after the first 50 feet of driving.
• Durability: Stens chains are heat-treated carbon steel with welded cross links. They’re durable for seasonal use but will show surface rust if left wet. Store dry.
• Common gotcha: These chains add about 1.5 inches of width per side. Verify your mower’s total rear width stays within the deck or wheel clearance before buying.

Should You Buy It

If you regularly mow or plow on icy slopes, wet grass, or packed snow with a lawn tractor using 20x10.00-8 or -10 tires, the Stens 180-368 is a solid, cost-effective traction upgrade. Skip them if you only mow dry, flat ground or have tight wheel well clearance—chains will cause more trouble than they’re worth.
