This is the method I use as well. I lay out the chains, back over
them, pull them up over the top of the tire (all the while trying to
distribute the crossbars evenly), and then do the inside chain latch
first. After doing up the outside latch, I use shock chords between
the circumference chains to take up the slack. Then I run them a lap
or two around the driveway and try to take up a link or two on both
the inside and outside chain latches.
Since I use mine with only a bucket loader, I usually leave the chains
on most of the time.

Speaking of which I re-installed my chains. What a pain; I've found
it's easier to just take the wheel off, get them on, then put the
wheel back on the tractor.
I lay mine behind the wheel, back over just past the middle, pull
them up, connect, drive to redistribute and tighten...a lot easier
than taking off a wheel.
