Default Making tire chains for tractor

Has anyone here made there own tire chains for a tractor. I was about to buy
some but at $1100.00 a pair (studded type for ice) they seem very expensive.
I can get 3/8" for $1.69 per foot. 200+ feet of chain, a big set of bolt
cutters, my Mig welder and some time should make a decent set. Anyone have
an opinion on this idea? Above prices are Canadian.
