[QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 167391, member: 22283"] Thanks, Dave for correcting my grammatical error. However, if you continue to proof my posts, you will have a full time job ahead of you.:) Those muddy potato fields are exactly why we have ring chains. :D I agree with you guys that you get what you pay for. Inferior builds will most definately cost more in the long haul. Tensile strength is definately a tell-tale of the quality of a chain. I currently am trying a chain I got with recommendation from Mr. Krause. The sideplates and rollers are stainless. However the bushings and pins are chrome-moly due to cost. This was no cheap chain, costing close to $100. It has oversized sideplates and was proof-stretched at manufacturing to reduce initial stretch. (Tsubaki and D.I.D. are also doing this) The Sidewinder Stainless chain has an ultimate strength of 14,000 lbs. I have ran this chain since early Feb. and have had to turn my adjusters a total of 1/2 total turn since then. I don't think Krause is advertising this chain, but I highly recommend them. Give him a call. I agree that the materials used are a big factor in the integrity of a chain, but just as important are the tolerances that the manufacturer uses. [/QUOTE]
