You may need to get a tire chain tool.



 
You can use this to repair and change your tire chains with repair links and other such things.

Mine were MIA when Jeff was here to get the chains. I was going to send them with him. They've since been found. An angle grinder with a cut off wheel is handy as well as a big pair of Channel Locks or a purpose built chain wrench to fasten the hooks.

I've cut chains to fit and had good success. As long as the tread width is good, you can shorten the length (circumference) to fit the tire. After snapping the latches, I ran with bungees in an X across the wheel to tighten up any extra slack.

[Corley5]

If you're using bungee cords your chains aren't on tight enough. Old county plow drivers taught me that and they're right.

Corely5 is right. No bungees needed on chains that are fitted correct. 

[Resonator]

Not saying you're wrong, but I know for a fact there are plenty of plow trucks, tractors, semis + trailers, and 4 wheel vehicles that use bungees. They even make a "Spider" bungee specifically for that purpose.

[Corley5]

And those installations are wrong. I've had chains on all manner of vehicles and would never consider using "tighteners". It's an improper installation. Especially in heavy duty applications. Springs, bungee etc will be ripped off and you'll throw chains.

I've even let air out of the tires, installed the chains, then reinflated them.

Whether right or wrong, it worked.

Springs, bungee etc
That speaks volumes and most of it not good

Never had to use anything extra here to secure chains on skidder or tractors. Make'm fit. ;)

I always put chains on my skid steer in the winter. The first few years tried various things to keep tight, bungees, springs, cables, etc and nothing worked. The last few years I learned to remove the wheel and install the chains good and tight by using speed links to take up any slack. Haven't had any issues since.
