‼NOTICE: The studs should be mounted slightly further into the tire than what I demonstrated. If you've decided to purchase some studs using the links in the description, read the manual that comes with them of course - But in my specific case they should have been installed about 2 mm (1/16 Inch) further into the tire than what the manual described. Only the top of the stud should be protruding, not the entire head.
I'm sorry for any confusion. I am not sure if I've read the wrong manual, or gotten a different tool than what the manual described.
I'm debating whether I should make a correction video, or if this comment is enough? Please let me know your thoughts by replying to this comment.
A demonstration of the correct mounting method and result to me would be beneficial compared to understanding typing. In my opinion. Thank you for the video.
@@brianworley7705 I've uploaded a follow-up video. You can watch it here: ruclips.net/video/kAO1vxQ85YQ/видео.html
Yes, the wheels spinning in neutral is normal. At least when the transmission is cold, the oil has enough viscosity to turn the output shaft just from the oil movement inside the trans.
Any time you have to jack up a vehicle, block up the wheels, so it doesn't start rolling on it's own. And I'd say that you don't need jackstands when installing studs on the tires, since you're not getting under the vehicle.
Those Screw-In studs are awesome. Back when I used to ride a 50cc moped year round, I used same style studs with a shorter stud and thread to winterize the Enduro tires. Way better for snowy conditions than store-bought winter tires, as they had much more aggressive thread in them, they just didn't have the studs.
Awesome, thanks for the clarification 👍 Yeah I think the screw in studs are great, they have a very aggressive bite in them, it seems like. Also, thanks for looking out for my safety, I appreciate it. You're right about blocking the wheels.
Thanks for the comment. And for watching ❤️
Stands are still good even if you're not getting underneath, hydraulic jacks can drop over time and aren't always the most stable, so if you need to work for a decent amount of time or might have to leave the job and come back to it a set of solid stands will be better.
Wheel movement in neutral is somewhat normal. The oil inside the transmission is moving all the bits around, and thats enough to turn the bits inside if there's little to no resistance on the tires. The fact that the wheels move is actually good. It tells you that your clutch isn't worn out. But, also means that you can't easily spin the tires by hand because you have to overcome that small amount of neutral clutch engagement, or spin the transmission, in order to do so.
Interesting, thanks for the explanation! 👍 And for watching ❤️
The most impressive part of this video is the speed in which you jacked up the front of that tractor.I have not seen anything like that since watching 70s super hero shows,well done.
Hahaha 😂😎
Wheel spin in neutral is normal, clutch always drags a little bit. Please chock your other tires. Blocks behind and in front. Any time you lift always use jack stands. But i prefer big logs on all corners. I hate jack stands in general. I almost died one time. It slipped on a frame part. Not perfectly flat. Nice looking road tires. My wife's family were farmers. Never drove on paved roads. He loved chunky big chains for deep snow and ice. Worked well. But no way can you go on paved roads. Just dirt. And they were bumpy bumpy. Augers look interesting. Thanks for sharing. We've never heard of those here in the states.
Back in the day my uncle had a belarus 4x4 tractor. 4x4 tractors were very hard to come by in the 80's and 90's, for a low price. That tractor was spot on.
Thanks for the clarification about the wheel spin. It's a good idea to use blocks, I should have done that. Sometimes I just start working on things and I don't always think about the potential outcome if something unforseen were to break, so thanks for reminding me!
Yes snow chains are superior in most circumstances, but for driving on paved roads as you said it just doesn't make sense. I have thought about bringing with me some easy-on lightweight chains for the front wheels when plowing, for those worst days.
Old Belarus tractors I have heard great things about them, but they are a pain to get parts for around here.
Thanks for the comment, I enjoyed reading. And thanks for watching 🧡
Absolutely on the parts problem. I'll change life long brands if i can't get parts. Or can't work on it. John deer is done for many as parts and ECU work is impossible. Look up framework laptops if you want parts and re-build it for life. Cool company. No thanks apple. I love toyota for workability. Wish hi-lux was in the states. Old ford tractors are great for workability. I'm not a farmer, in-laws are. @@woodlandwrench
Same here my friend. That's basically the main reason I bought the New Holland tractor, because the local 3rd party parts store had about 100 pages of parts, mostly in stock, on their website.
I'm glad to hear your stance on right-to-repair as well and acknowledge the shady business that is today's John Deere. Their old tractors I hear are great machines, and that's probably true, but I am not earning them a cent.
Edit: I responded to a comment that seems to have disappeared 🤔
When your studs make every one of your summer tires pop at $1 ea😊
Never heard of "tire siping" great tip thanks, it's not just for tractors but for cars and trucks too. Should work great up here in New England U.S.A.
Absolutely, it should work great for most vehicles! I'm glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching ❤️
On old style bias ply tires, micro-siping auto tires was approved as an alternative when snow tires or chains requirement was effectuated in snowstorms. Supposedly contributed to extended tire mileage also.
You can get the chains tight to the tire. let out some air before putting them on and fill back up. Some shops do this and we did on our last tractor, because of the same issue you have (clearance)
Yeah, that might be a good solution actually, never tried it before. Thanks for the comment, and for watching ❤️
at least forest chains are supposed to be a bit loose so the moving of the chain removes the accumulated snow from the chain
That's what I use to do.
Tractors are usually hydraulic and you have to activate the bypass to allow the wheels to turn freely even in neutral.
Interesting! Thanks for the info 👍
I could be wrong but I think this kind of tracktor does not use hydraulic driven wheels.
About those back wheels turning on the neutral gear. The oils and fluids "graps" to gogcwheels etc inside gearbox, differential. Check out (Nikola) Tesla turbine. It uses this "cohesion grab". English is not my native language but hope you get the point.
@@SinuheSieda very interesting, I'll check it out thank you 😊
Normal Tractors are usually NOT hydraulic in that way….
There is planetary gear and you are sort of wrong side of that when spinning the tyre by hand. Axl spins alot faster then tyre. So its easy for the transmission to spin the tyre. Not easy other way around
you are a dedicated hard worker, wow!
Thank you for the kind words! ❤️
I'm use the same spikes at my compact track loader. Difference is great. Even icy sloops aren't the problem.
Great to hear you have a good experience with them as well 👍 Thanks for the comment! And for watching ❤️
My old case has the same issua, 4wd clutch is spring loaded and opens whit hydraulic pressure. So when the engine isn't running, no hydraulic pressure and the 4wd clutch is on
Interesting, thanks for the info! Might be the same with this tractor then.
Thanks for watching ❤️
@@woodlandwrenchit’s a passive feature to keep all 4 wheels locked since the engine is off 4wd is applied. When the engine is running hydraulic pressure releases the 4wd. If was a gear shift and not a hydraulic clutch it would be able to turn when the engine is off. Also when you press the brakes 4wd is applied to give braking force to all 4 tires when the brakes are connected but when disconnected will allow for brake steering.
Hi, yes they work so. It's a 'negative' working wet clutch@@woodlandwrench
Both tires need to be off the ground The tire is spin in opposite directions from one another when they're off the ground in neutral I also believe the tractor was leaning a bit to one side which was stopping one of the tires from spinning
Parking brake engages when you are not semding voltage to the parking brake. Turning on the parking brake shuts off the power to the brake.
Hello! I don't know if you're aware...but, on your bottle jacks the head at the tip does screw out to take out some of the height so you don't have to use so many blocks.
I use change if it's a dirt road or a really bad snowstorm. Otherwise studded snow tires work pretty good.
Nothing is better than chains for traction 😊 Thanks for watching ❤️
One wheel spinning is normal in coold conditions, it's the coold oil draging the other side with it when the clutch spinns. Would have been nice to see you do some kind of test before and after you put those studs in.. I used them some years, but i cant say if the machine grips better or if i only "think" it grips better.. 🤔❤️🇸🇪
Thanks for the clarification about the clutch drag. And yeah, a comparison would have been a good idea, actually. But I do notice a big difference in just the extra studs I put in this year, I would guess around 20-30% more traction just from that alone. So they definitely do help, at least for my application. And the siping adds a lot as well.
Thanks for the comment. And for watching ❤️
Hello, the reason why you can't turn 1 wheel when the tractor is off is because of the 4wd. The frontwheeldrive is activated with a spring, when you press the button to turn the 4wd off the tractor will disengage the 4wd clutch with hydraulic pressure.
The wheels should not be turning when everything is in neutral! But it is possible when te oil is cold one of the 4 clutches will stick.
I have seen something like this for the first time.
Daam i got tensed when he started drilling in tyres 😂😂
Haha, studding is quite normal in my area. But yes, gotta be careful not to puncture the tire! I understand getting tense if you haven't seen it before 😂
Thanks for your comment. And for watching ❤️
6:10 the weight is off the tires and you remove the parking break. The spinning could be a tiny bit of energy that made it through the transmission while shifting either from the engine or simply from the parking paw (if it has one, i dont think tractors bother with parking paws) Or whats more likely with massive tractor wheels, they are every so slightly out of balance and turning the tractor break off allowed the heaviest part of the wheel to rotate downwards.
Hadn't thought about the unbalanced affecting the roll, that makes sense. Thanks for the comment! ❤️
I bought winter tires with bad studs, which have ball point. I pulled them out and replaced to screw type studs.
Good solution 👍 thanks for watching ❤️
If you don’t have any big hills, studs are fine. If clearance is a problem on the rear wheels, put chains on the fronts.
I have thought about chains on the front only, actually. The problem is I drive a lot at top speed on the main road. Chains are a bit sketch when drving 50kmh for 30min straight. I might do it next season though, I'm making some changes to my route 🙂
Bra jobba, heia Norge.
😁
I found out drop air pressure helps. Operated grader with chains you just get in deeper in snow and once stuck dig self a hole with chains plus repair the chains are not easy which you have to do to keep them on
Thanks for the tip and for sharing your experience ❤️
Great video! 15 years operating wheel-loaders in arctic conditions here. The best option would be to get actual high quality winter tires.
Hands down the best tires I’ve tried are Michelin x snoplus, like driving on gravel even in steep conditions.
I understand that’s not what the video is about but just wanted to put it out there.
Oh that's awesome! Given your experience, I'll take your word for it, haha. I bet they're quite expensive though, just looking at the michelin crossgrip that are available in my area, it's a price tag I couldn't justify with the little plowing I do around here. Even brand new ones of the cheap tires in this video, are quite a hit to the wallet! If I had some proper plowing contracts then I could probably justify a good set of tires like that. But honestly, this setup I showed here has worked amazingly well for the purpose. A neighbor of mine does a lot of plowing for the municipality, he's got a brand new set of Nokian Hakkappeliita something something expensive words, with studs in them.
Thanks for the comment! And for watching of course ❤
I totally understand I work for a large company so big brand tires are really not an issue cost-wise, if i was soloing I would do the same as you!
Been wanting to try the hakkapeliitta snow loader tires but never got the chance, from what I hear they’re great.
Anyways, best regards and awesome content keep it up! /friendly neighbor from the east 🙂
@@woodlandwrenchthe michelin and Nokian are all season tires. They aren't like their car winter tires that are just for the winter. Don't know if that makes any difference.
Have you thought about adapting the Auto chain system they use on school buses and other mid to heavy sized trucks ?
I haven't thought about it. Never seen that system used on a tractor before. I would think it reduces ground clearance quite a bit? But I am not familiar.
Thanks for watching ❤️
Nice work. Athough I would advise to check with Statens Vegvesen (Norwegian transportation authority) what is the max. number of studs per tire allowed legally on paved roads.
I did that and I'm well within requirements, because the tires are so big. I can also show that I run studs instead of chains, which are much more damaging to the road. I could apply for an exception to the rule for this, but it's not needed since I am below the max treshold. Thanks for the comment, and for watching my back 😉❤️
You parking brake is spring applied pressure realeased. As a mechanic i often have to pressure up parking brakes in order to tow a dead machine.
Oh that's interesting. It feels like a regular parking brake, but of course it could still function the way you explained. Thanks for the comment ❤️
Could you use the 3 point hitch bars resting on a couple blocks to bring the rear up?
Not on this tractor, it doesn't have double acting 3-point cylinders. There is a jig that you can buy, which does what you explain with single acting cylinders, but I don't have one, unfortunately.
Thanks for watching! ❤️
You have a limited slip differential in the rear of that tractor so when one tires off the ground the other tire is on the ground it turns about a quarter turn and then the limit to quit gearing will engage. If you'll notice when you spend out in a field you'll get one tire that'll spend and then suddenly both will engage that's what that's for. Now you may have a switch inside the cab of your tractor that can turn this off on my John Deere tractor I have a button I can push with my foot which will engage both wheels and then when I let the button off it disengages the future. But if I'm on grass going uphill and one of my tires starts to spin the other one will engage within seconds
Thanks for the info! I do indeed have a button in the cab as well, I thought that was the only diff lock, didn't know it had a LSD as well.
Thanks for the comment, and for watching ❤️
The spining wheel on neutral is normal, as the oil in gearbox transfer part of the energy thru the system..
Thanks for the explanation! ❤️
på min lastmaskin så går handbromsen i automatiskt när man stänger av tändningen på maskin kanske är lika dant på traktorn ?
I don't think so because a warning sound goes off quite loud when you don't apply the parking brake and switch off the ignition. I think the parking brake is entirely mechanical and manual.
Thanks for watching ❤️
7:26 idk about resistance, that looks like something is holding it. If it was truely in neutral but there was a lot of resistance in the transmission you would still see the other wheel wiggle slightly if there was any movement in the diff at all. Im guessing it automatically applies the parking break when the tractor is off to prevent roll aways. Honestly just move the tractor so its facing the open door then spin the tires in drive all you want.
You're probably right, I don't know. It's a good idea to face the tractor towards the opening like you say. Thanks for the comment, and for watching! ❤️
The reason you cant rotate the wheels is most likely because the tractor has a spring applied, hydraulically released parking brake - its a safety feature. Lose the engine, the parking brake automatically applies.
Also wheels spinning in neutral is normal - believe it or not, its mainly caused by oil splash in the transmission case.
Very interesting! Thanks for the clarification 👍 ❤️
How do they hold up/affect the tire during thread wear? Will they eventually get pushed in far enough to puncture the tire? Or do they wear with the tire?
They wear with the tire. You should be able to install them in a brand new tire and drive until there is no tungsten left, then you can install new ones, or maybe the tire is completely worn by that time. Depends on the tires I guess. The ones I installed here should by design never puncture the tire, unless you drive them in way too far.
Thanks for the comment! And for watching ❤️
I tried the same studs last winter. Traction was good, problem is them studs are hell on concrete sidewalks and garage floors. I dont like chains any better they ride to dogone rough.
Yeah, they really tear up concrete, I'm seeing it on the floor of the workshop myself.
Thanks for watching ❤️
You need to spend some time fixing that barn door. With all those holes, it was no warmer inside.
You're right about that. It's not a great design either. But currently, there is a huge opening in the opposite wall, that needs to be closed up as well.
Thanks for watching ❤️
I think it's down to the engine not running and providing hydraulic pressure to keep the handbrake released, well that's what i understand from watching Warren at Western Truck and Tractor repair on youtube.
Awesome, thanks for the comment! And for watching ❤️
Well if there is a possibility to use such studs, it is really an elegant option to get rid of the snowchains with all their drawbacks.
But there are many countries where you are not allowed to use studs anyway, the argumentation because they are in use the whole season ( or for an extentended timespan compared to chains ) they cause massive surface damage on the road. In my region, if police get you with this you have to pay a high fine 😮
Oh wow. I hear some other commentors say the same thing. I guess it varies by region. I know they are not allowed within the main city of Oslo, the capital in Norway. Around my local area, we 'usually' have ice and snow-covered roads, so the studs dont touch the pavement to do any damage.
Thanks for the comment ❤️
looks like ur other wheel was dragging slightly that's why it wouldn't free turn
Chains and weight is always the solution for those that have trouble understanding basic physics
And for this guy, studs are the BEST option. Explained for those who struggle with common sense
While you’re 100% correct when it comes to “deep snow” (meaning 6 or more inches unpacked) and off highway, on actual ice or a plowed and slick bit of road you actually want studs, more smaller points of contact that dig into the icy surface actually provide way better traction than a chain ever could only downside is wear on both the road and the tires due to the studs
@@stevenbryant3055
There isnt a comma in op's sentence.
Impossible challenge: learn something without calling people who don’t know the thing stupid
@@tropicaljupiteryou read it wrong. He didn’t use a comma he’s saying that dumb people think chains and weight will always beat studs not the other way around. The videos creator even liked the comment which is why i noticed he was on the side of tire studs not chains
I dont use chains in my plower because they pack up the snow making my wheels into chunky snowballs
Thought it was for a plower not a tractor but oh well :D Thats still my reason for a 11hp plower to not use chains. Much smoother and better grip with the tyres only.
Sorry about the confusion here, with snow plower and my tractor. I can see how the title might be misunderstood.
I bet those smaller snow plow machine tires can clog up with chains on them as you say. I guess studs could be suitable for that too. I have zero experience with them.
Thanks for watching ♥
Hei!
Har ikke du alt for mye utstikk på piggene? Hele skrudelen skal inn i dekket. Har du 440 eller 400 framdekk? 😊
Jo du har rett, de skal være lengre inn etter min mening, men bruksanvisning sier "til verktøyet treffer gummien" - Så jeg valgte å gjøre det slik i videoen. Men når jeg ser på videoer fra BestGrip, så skrur de lengre inn enn hva bruksanvisning sier. Men kanskje jeg har feil verktøy 🤔. Det er 440 dekk 😊
Kudos for å ha gammel TSA 😊👍 Du må ha 400 på traktoren, for nå har du 3% for mye forspinn, og det kommer til å ødelegge både nav og girkasse 😬🙈 Hvis ikke du kjører eksepsjonelt pent, da. Her blir det mye konstant friksjon som ikke er bra. Hilsen gubben som har dekkverksted i Trøndelag 😊
@ Setter stor pris på at du sier ifra! Jeg pratet med et dekksenter ang dette for en stund tilbake, og begge dekkene er egentlig feil 🙈 Den sto på 400 forran og 540 bak når jeg kjøpte traktoren. Dette var visst helt katastrofe sa de, så jeg byttet til 440 forran for å redusere forspinn og han mente at hvis jeg kjørte med frontlaster og litt mindre luft i de forran, samt ikke kjøre med firtrekk når ikke det trengs, så skulle det gå? 🤔🤔Jeg kan svært lite om dette her altså.
Originalt kommer den visst med 14.9 og 18.4. I dag står den på 16.9 og 20.8. Er dette fortsatt for mye feil mener du? Jeg vil gjerne la være å ødelegge girkassen 🙈
Don't ever use old stud holes. Little rocks and debris will get inside once old holes are driven on. Studding on top unseen debris will work deeper into the tire causing leaks. I've seen it many times. Siping gets snow to stick in the grooves. And snow sticks to snow for great traction.
Great info! Thanks for the comment ❤️
can i theoretically remove a predetermined if necessary amount of metal and just use screws i have at home?
Idk exactly what you're asking, but using regular screws is not a good idea as they will wear out very fast and also not be very secured to the rubber. Could also work themselves in and puncture the tire, maybe.
Καλησπερα Μαστορακο καλές γιορτές να έχεις !, σε ένα εσωτερικό σπειρώματα Μ16*1,5 που έχει ξεχειλώσει τι μου προτείνεται να κάνω ;; Πάω από πάνω με ένα κολαούζο Μ17 η έχει και ενδιάμεσα νούμερα ευχαριστώ !!!!
Καλό απόγευμα! Μπορείτε να πάτε με το M17, αλλά είναι ένα ειδικό μέγεθος και ελαφρώς μικρό για να ξαναπεράσετε το M16. Κανονικά είναι M16 και μετά M18. Μπορείς να πας με 1,25, 1,50, 1,75 είναι όλα καλά. Εάν έχετε χώρο για το M18, τότε προχωρήστε με αυτό. Αν όχι, τρυπήστε με τρυπάνι 15,5 mm και περάστε το με M17. Ελπίζω αυτό να βοηθήσει ❤️
(Yes, I used google translate, excuse my terrible Greek).
I'm sure these are fine for a lot of people. But when I worked as a tire tech in Sweden above the arctic circle I saw a lot of these screw studs working their way all the way through the tire until it punctured. Usually an otherwise fine tire would be beyond saving as even if only one stud had made it all the way through a bunch of others were already very close to also going through, making not worth repairing.
This was primarily on wheel-loaders and semi-trucks though and in intensive commercial application with heavy use, especially if used on any kind of coarse gravel or similar surface. Because of this they have a pretty bad reputation in the commercial and industrial world of the very north of Sweden at least. The vast majority of companies and individuals who do snow removal just run dedicated studless winter tires with winter rubber compound and siped tread pattern on their semis, loaders and tractors. Though this may be cost prohibitive depending on how much driving you actually do in winter conditions.
That being said I'm sure screw-in studs are fine for a lot of applications and that a lot of people have success with them, just wanted to share my experience as a caution.
I have also heard about the problem you're speaking of. There are a few different brands of studs, and the ones I used in the video that have a very coarse thread seem to do very well. But my experience is limited to just 3 brands and also very light use compared to the industrial scenarios you're referencing.
Your comment is a good read and something to consider for those who are looking to use them in such applications.
Thanks for the comment! And for watching ❤️
@@woodlandwrench It's also possible my experience may be skewed due to me only being exposed to punctured tires with cheaper and/or badly designed screw-ins, while the ones with success just truck on. Reverse survivor-bias or whatever one may call it. I think the rubber compound may also be a factor. I mainly saw studless winter tires which had the screw-in studs added by the user.
Since dedicated winter tires have a softer rubber compound they may be more susceptible to the studs working their way in. I think regular agricultural and industrial tires may be more suited to having screw-in studs added to them. Just a theory though.
I just stumbled onto your channel and I like it, you got a sub from me for sure! Fun to see a fellow Nordic making this kind of rural-machinery-wrenching content!
@enok90 Your theory about rubber compound sounds logical to me! I'll keep an eye out for any misbehaving studs this season, I'm pretty sure all of them were present when I unscrewed them last year, but I didn't count 😆 No punctures though!
Thank you for the kind words and sub. I really appreciate it ❤️
I swear by studded tires when plowing. I do a lot of driveways around the lake and they can be very steep. Studded tires have really made life much easier.
Glad to hear you've had a positive experience as well! Thanks for watching ❤
I’ve had chains my whole life, but they get loose ect, just bought a new tractor, they through in chains, even asked fir good H chains but they didn’t and the chain got into each grove so didn’t work, got new ones and they came in, they insisted they fit, but not even close they Jerry rigged them and I had to redo it to get them to fit, but they fell off twice now. So I say frig it and I’m going to try it. I have 4 km of road on my lake to do, I’m only one who lives here, so now tons of people want there driveways done. I’ll let yiu know how they work. I have loaded tires so I can’t let air out and put in more air to tighten tire.
@Dan-qt7kq They don't provide nearly the traction that chains do, but they're much more comfortable to drive on. You might be able to leave them in all year too, depending on your use case and local regulations.
Use a hook roofing blade to sipping its very easy.
Great tip, thank you! And thanks for watching ❤️
Wishful thinking as compared to chains. Best wishes for a successful outcome.
Thank you! ❤️
cool
😎😎
Can yiu just leave them in all year? Not for traction just out of not having to do them again?
Unfortunately we're not allowed to drive on the roads with them during summertime.
@@woodlandwrench I mean, I live rurally and just plow road in winter time and use tractor around the yard in summer ect. Do they come out easily.
I like the studs better than chains
Same here!
Thanks for watching ❤️
Studded tires are illegal here in Michigan
Really? That's interesting. Even on heavy equipment?
If your diff lock is on it will not turn unless both wheels are of the ground.......................?? Clayton
12 minutes before the first stud goes in.
The ass end isn't high enough n not level so it's pivoted so the other tire in on the ground
Thanks for the comment and for watching! ❤️
Are your rear tires fluid filled?
They are not. I haven't seen the need for it. It could use some more weight on the front though.
Thanks for watching! ❤️
👍
❤️
People should be aware that studs damage the road and are illegal in most places where I live example.
True. Check your local regulations people 😊
studded tires are illegal where I live. around here the Fire Engines use chains and/or built-in wheel sanders when it gets too slick to stand up on the road... Deep snow? you need chains.
I'm curious where you live. In Norway you have to pay a fee in some areas, for driving on studded tires.
Cheers, thanks for watching ❤️
You can't turn the wheels while the engine is off because you have no hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic motors.
The oil is thick because it is cold, if you used the tractor for an hour , the wheel would turn easily
Hadde en Ford new holland 7740, brukte nesten 4000kr i skrupigg bare til å pigge alle hjulene😭
Haha ja de er ikke gratis. Jeg har vel rundt 9000kr i pigger i disse dekkene 🥹
it is illegal in my country
Very interesting. They do less damage than chains 🤔
You look like Liam Neeson.
Hahah ❤️
Studs spreader all over every where you go not a good plan people lost grader contracts where I live running them people were so made getting flats on there pick ups
Maybe why you can spin tire is because tractor is hydro, my L3400 is gear and no problem spinning tire.............
I did this a few years ago on my front 7.50-16 AGs, then I hit a sharp rock on side wall, I had it patched twice but the ;fc,gmkpdmp[n[pmlknlsv wouldn't hold. I thought by now I'd put new studs on the new tires but that was 2 years ago...........
PS. It's about time I see a lot of comments, as entertaining as you are, I thought you'd be inundated with a plethora of comments. I was beginning to think that all your 2k subscribers was only brothers sisters, aunts, uncles, in-laws and outlaws, 3rd 4th cousins once removed, goats chicken and one moose, that didn't like your content but felt sorry for you.........
Thanks for sharing your experience! Sorry the patch didn't hold. Tires have gotten ridiculously expensive, at least in my area.
Haha, I think some of the comments may be from my goats 😂 thanks for the kind words! ❤️
Много разговора меньше дел
I agree. Chains suck.
😁😁 thanks for watching ❤️
I've been plowing snow in Northern MN for 20 yrs.......NEVER EVER EVER USE STUDS.....belong on snowmobiles only......I've never ever had issues getting stuck plowing snow......we dont run chains on any of our tractors either.....and we plow ice roads on our lakes for the resorts.....and if there is deep snow too fluffy or wet for tires......we use trax.......
Chains destroy your driveways and if they come off bye bye side of vehicle
You're right about that. Thanks for watching ❤️
Why wouldn't you just drive it to install them to begin with ? some people's kids
For your information: Canada banned studs years ago because they chewed up all the highways so badly, they had to be resurfaced... The only reason they don't ban them in your area is because there are not enough people using them to make a noticeable difference... You're destroying the highways by using them.
You're right about that, people should check their local regulations. They resurface the roads around here probably once every 10 years or so. But I am not sure if that's because of studded tires or just for general maintenance. Regardless, I think they do less damage than the alternative, which is driving on chains all winter.
I do believe they have a ban on them in the city of Oslo. I know they have a "stud tire fee" for driving in the city closest to me. $140 for one season. I can drive to that city without paying though, since my home address is in a excempt municipality.
Thanks for the comment! And for watching ❤️

About your opinion that chains do less damage; you are completely wrong.
First: chains are only used in extreme conditions when they are needed, while studs,
once installed chew up the roads everywhere you drive. This means the destructive effect of using studs is multiplied thousands of times more than chains.
Second; the physical difference between studs and chains is obvious, Studs are points that hit the road.
Chains are round and flattened. It's the difference between sandpaper with thousands of points, and smooth metal that spreads the weight of the tires over a larger surface.
Also: the regulations you mentioned supports my comment. I can promise you if too many people start using studs in your area they will be completely banned.
I live in Alberta Canada and I and most people I know run studs definitely not banned here.

Don't worry: In a number of years, all your highways will be ruined and then they will be banned...
Trust me; it's just a matter of time and physics. It happened here in the 1960's and 70's and it will happen in Alberta.
You check the rules. Permitted with conditions in many places in Canada. Although for cars, winter tire are often a better choice.
leave the tractor running in neutral
All studs do is fall out and ruin your very VERY EXSPENSIVE TIRES.....
Old manual operated tractors you can spin those wheels but New computer operated tractors dont obey you 😅
You're right about that. It's on the verge of too new for me to work on by myself. I wouldn't want anything in-between mine and a brand new one.
Thanks for the comment! And for watching of course ❤️
मूल मुद्दे से भटक गया है ये बंदा , इतनी बकवास से अच्छा था की ३ मिनट में ज़रूरी जानकारी के साथ टास्क करके बता देता 😂
I never had a problem with chain it just sound like you suck at putting them on !!! from riding mowers to quads to cars to trucks to tractors I never threw a chain ever and they seam to be balanced when I am done !!! so I assume it's a skill issue !!!
If you're talking about not retightening, then I guess it could depend on the type of chains and tires you're running. If you've never thrown a chain around your axle, then I'd say that's very good. Getting that mess untangled is a nightmare.
the trick is flatten the a bit then tighten the chains then pump the tire back up is the trick no one tells anyone about !!! and leaves no slop behind and the chain should be super tight on the tires. never threw one yet. knock on wood !!!
