Hi,
You should be able to source the chain at a hardware or farm supply store.

I added about 50 pounds of weight to the top of my blade which really helped for scraping down to the ground. That being said, using the blade is gonna be a real battle with a foot of wet snow. Tire Chains may help as well.

Good luck!

Take care,
Dean
