- In this video I'm going to install a set of Trygg Ice and Forestry chains on my Kioti DK45 tractor. These studded diamond pattern chains are made in Norway and should make a big difference this winter. Bring on the snow!

For those that just didn't get it... I was JOKING about the metric system. I know it's used everywhere. =)
So many of us have been thinking in inches for so many, many years.
I was scratching my head on that comment lol...
Ok... You got me ;) I was like "Did he say that !!!" Thanks for the video!
Thank goodness this was the first comment! You had a thumbs down coming your way.
Yeah! A fellow Norseman. My mother was born in Norway and came to America with her family when she was only 11 months old. While on the voyage to America, my grandmother suffered many days with seasickness and we were told that a nice Italian immigrant lady helped care for my mother and her two sisters.
Those look like they will do the job for sure! Look the be strong sturdy chains, will be good watching them in action when the snow comes down. Another great video, keep them coming and thanks for sharing!
Great job! You keep your tractor in GREAT condition!
Blessings!
Great video of our TRYGG chains👍 Greetings from Mandal, Norway
Thanks! My ancestry is Norwegian so I knew they would be good chains.👍 They made a huge difference dealing with winter here.
They look like they will work good,good luck and be safe!
thanks Dale for letting us drop in ,chains should do you up. take care keep them coming
Awesome tire chains ! That tractor should be a winter tank , thanks for sharing .
I always look forward to seeing your videos. Thank you.
No slipping around this winter for Dale! Great job man.
Nice set of chains. I know for sure you wont regret them. Cheers!
I am glad you got full floating chains on your tractor, they are so much nicer to drive on, getting rid of that jumping up and down when driving. Much more comfortable, and they give better traction too. I am originally from Norway with tractors as a hobby. I hope you will enjoy your chains.
Nice set of chains!! Gonna be so much different!
Thanks for showing us how to add chains to a tractor . Trygg Ice and Forestry chains look to be a good product . Just watched your video on scraping the ruts on your driveway and I see that you're are very happy with those chains .
So far I love them...what a difference in traction!
Very nice. Can’t wait to see them in action. Thanks.
Look like some nice chains👍
great video. The tighter your chains, the less they wear and better they grip. i recommend deflating the tire some, installing and reinstalling. If you do that it will take out any slack (even the slack you had when finished). I have the same chains and love them.
Just picked up used set for our old massey thanks this helped alot
Nice setup !
You got a great looking set of chains there and a bunch of Kinlin to boot lol hope yer doing well take care my friend and stay safe 👍
Nice video and chain set. I place my chains on the ground like you did then I drive the tractor over the chains, tie them on to the wheel then back the tractor up and the chains roll onto the tires with out having to stop and start 4 or 5 times to keep straightening them out. and you can do both sides at the same time.
You will have no problems with the ice and snow now good job
Those chains are best chains money can buy. Wicked 👍
Thank you for the video and all the comments. I'm in the process of ordering these chains and feel good about them. Our driveway is a quarter mile all up hill to the house with a 19% grade in places. We had 4 1/2 feet of snow in 2 days last winter. They say it doesn't happen every year. However we will be ready this year. Even have a new tractor to us , 4710 John Deere. Again thank you
I think you'll love those chains. I just put mine back on the other day. Ready for winter!
Thanks for sharing Dale.
Those are beautiful!
YOU MAY NEED THEM THIS YEAR.. GLAD TO SEE THE TRACTOR IS STILL RUNNING STRONG.. Tom n Rocky
Hi i have the same tractor and same trygg rear and a front set and i love it very good in forest too for logging
Great vid 👍
I have 2 sets for my pick-up truck from trygg and love them. Now all you need is a set for the front
Another awesome video....the tractor will be like a tank in the snow now :)
I'm hoping!
Äntligen en som gör rätt när kedjorna ska på!
Nice job 👍
Good looking chains
Those Chains ROCK
awesome video
I be glad when its cold enuf for you to use those chains. We have alot rain comming from the storm in the Southern part of Ga. Maybe after we'll have some huntin weather. Nice tractor you have .
I hear there's some major rain headed your way. I hope it doesn't come up the coast.
Nice video, thank you.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Perfect timing for that Modoki El Nino we may have. ??? Good investment either way. I put a pool in, rained all summer. Bought a snowmobile, no snow. Wore sneakers all winter. BUT....this past winter I rode my Wooly's off and this summer I swam like Nemo. Hope you have the same luck! Your winters are much colder and a lot snowier than Lakeview NY. Your guaranteed for some type of adventure.
lol...I was thinking the same way. Buy the chains and end up with no snow.
Canada is metric, not a bad system. Thanks for sharing.
Just subscribed to your channel. There is a lot of interesting stuff to watch on your channel! I am a tractor enthusiast and I like to cut and split wood (can be seen on my channel). If you haven't used the Trygg chains before, you will be surprised. You will love it. It has nothing to do with the common ladder chain. It's 10 times more effective. This is what I have on my Case 430 (2wd) and ice is absolutely not a problem, even in very steep grounds. I keep them year long. Like the name suggest, they are good for winter and for logging! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, I purchased a used tractor and couldn't quite figure out how to put the connectors on the chains.
Me like! I have to work alone so your method of getting the chains onto the tires is really good. You get them centered as you go. I do have one suggestion - do with it as you like... When I'm trying to get the clevis into the links (and sometimes the latch lever) I use a ratchet style load binder to pull the two ends together. The ratchet style allows me to pull the ends and then still have both hands free to work. I'm now 75yo and not as strong as I used to be - every little bit helps.
Pretty aggressive chains should be real good on the ice. Good video
It takes pure akwarness and strength to do tire chains
By the way, love that Kioti tractor!
sure hope that adjustable wrench was metric.......lol, looks great! Buddy of mine runs the Kioti tractor too he loves his! All the best form metric Canada........
darn! That's why wrench wouldn't work. lol. I was only joking about metric.
oh I know, just messing with ya. Really enjoying all the videos!
I have a set and they are the cats meow. Great traction and once they are on they don't move around. They have wicket traction. I have a video on them on my channel. I am on steep hills blowing snow and I hardly even need 4 wheel drive.
There is a couple words of caution... 1. if they do spin they will rip up a driveway or badly scratch and gouge pavement. 2. you could flip a tractor over in the right situation. 3. brush gets caught up in them and can wrap around and take out your hydro lines.
Really nice style of chain. Nice that they are built specific for your tire. It seems USA bought chains are only cut to size and the cross chain part do not always work out well
Great video. I like your technique however my tractor won't roll forward without a driver because I still have a safety switch😜under my seat. Thanks for the tips. I would love to see that tractor pushing snow with those knarly chains.
Those chains are awesome! I have plenty of videos clearing snow on really icy surfaces...no problems at all.
Those are nice chains you’ll be able to climb over logs with those. You need some for the front
You won't need 4 wheel drive, I have run this same chain for over 20 years and never got stuck, Maine winters here
I definitely notice a difference. Can't wait to give them a real try.
Trygg , it's means - safe- ! :)
Same chains I’ve got on my John Deere 1050- plowed once before I put chains on- never again!
I'm really going to be able to try them this weekend. We got potentially 30" coming.
I bet those chains weren’t cheap. I was surprised how much a good set of skid steer chains cost, a cool grand or more for a set of four but I need them, my skid is stuck on the driveway in the snow right now. :(
Yeah, they were $800 us.
They might be ceaper now, the Norwegian kroner have gone quite a bitt down
Did you need to add wheel spacers to have enough room for chains? Great video
No. Had plenty of room.
You're ready for the next Maine Megastorm. Bring it on!
There are only 3 countries in the world that don't use the metric system. Burma, Liberia, and the United States.
Ha! I was thinking the same thing!
I know that..lol...I was joking!
Haha sorry bud that one went over my head. Meant no disrespect, hope all is well
@@Nick-qj4su he wasnt joking or he's the best dead-pan comedian on the planet
dont worry ...the rest will catch up some day...lol
I have solid wheels and industrial tires on my tractor. I just use my skidsteer with forks on and set the chain over the tire and adjust from there. I will say there should be no movement of the chain once mounted. I put my chains on impossibly tight, or at least it feels that way. I see people running loose chains all the time and it just bothers the hell out of me. Thanks for the video. P.S. get a large set of chain pliers to remove links as needed, don't just leave excess chain hanging remove it or it will tear something up.
thanks ! ! !
After the winter you will be able to give an honest opinion on the new chains!
How long have you live in the cabin?
Just found your great channel! Please tell me, did you have to install spacers behind the wells for your chains? I have a B 2601 and I guess I will need them. What model do you have ? Thanks!
No, I didn't have to install any spacers. Lots of room on my tractor. I have the DK45.
Good job.Are you going to stay at the cabin all winter?Great videos,and I love the cabin
Thanks. I'll be here all winter. Should be fun.
This how we Vikings do it, you are safe both in snow and ice, and you can drive thru the woods out in the bush easy like that, only problem are pure black asphalt. Nice little Kioti you got there, but why have'nt you a tractor with cabin ?
My ancestors were from Scandinavia. They are great chains. I've had them for 3 years now. No cab on the tractor because I find it restricts my view a bit and in the woods it's just easier to get around without one.
wow welcoming the snow... haha
Really terrible storm . Think im sleeping in my barn tonight.
Any issue here with chains on back and none on front in 4 wheel drive ?
Any chains for the front ? I always had them on the JD 750, really helps when backing up in the slick stuff. Are you going to weight the back or are the tires already loaded ? Good video and thanks !
Tires are loaded. I'll try these this year and see what happens.
@@NB88 What ever happened with your front tires. Looks like you said four years ago you'd try just the rear tire chains to start with. I've got a Kubota B2650 and getting a plow attachment for the front loader arm. I'm told I may not have enough power to plow but right now I can't find good quality chains for the front tires. I just received my Trygg rear tire chains a couple days ago and will install them this week. Do I need chains on the front tires? I would think it would help with the front loader blade and especially with some steep sections on a hill on the driveway. Thank you.
@@mattsedlacek9068 I don't need chains for the front. Those trygg rear chains give me all the traction i could ever want. And I have a pretty serious hill and it's usually icy. I'm impressed with mine. I did a number of videos on them. So I think for traction you'll be fine but as for power I guess that depends on how much snow you get. My tractor has 2x the HP as yours.
@@NB88 Ok, thanks. I talked to several sales people and none of them warned me about not having enough power with that tractor. They were perfectly happy to talk about blades and to sell one (many don't have them in stock now in December) but none of them said anything about the potential power issue. A friend told me that I might not have enough power for deeper snow so we will see. I'll still get the blade. Got the chains and will put them on this week. Thank you.
Do you ever have any issues with the front wheels sliding while driving across an incline with those ag tires? I have industrials on mine an forget trying to turn on a hill in the snow. It will usually go the opposite way lol
No, not usually, I mean ice is ice but normally they have pretty good traction with 4wd.
Just installed the same chains on my Kioti CK4010 this past weekend. I followed the instruction that told me to shorten the chains before install. Once I had them wrap on the tire, I realized that they were a good 6 inches too short. grrrrr!!!! Had to reinstall the section I had removed. Went OK afterward but still puzzled as to why they did not fit when shortened to my tire size according to instructions
That's what I like about the Trygg chains, they custom make them to fit your size and model of tire. They fit like a glove.
Most countries use the Metric system, it's really easy. Everything is divisible by 10, water freezes at zero and boils at 100*C.
I know. I was only joking about the metric system.
@@NB88 I commented before i read the other 500 comments that basically said the same thing. Don't worry i am not going to send Metric ninjas to take you out. I just re-watched your video about the tractor tire chains.
Interesting job. We don’t get a lot of snow in the UK. Rain & wind is our usual but it’s good to see u are preparing for winter.,do u not need some kind of cab on the tractor. All the ones here have either a roll bar or a cab ?
No cab for me. I use it in the woods and a cab would just get wrecked. I have to dress for the -20 to -30 weather though..lol
NB88 yes I suppose u are right. Take care out there
Love your videos. My husband wants some chains for his tractor. We also live in Downeast Maine. Can you let us know where we can get some chains either local or where can I order some. My husband liked the ones you have put on. Please let me know where I can get some for his tractor. My husband every year says he needs to buy chains and well never does. I will order some or buy them. Keep on making your videos we like to see them especially since we are in Maine. Thank You
Best thing to do is contact some local tractor dealers and they can order them in for you. My only advice is to stay away from Chinese chains. They might be a bit cheaper but they are junk. They might be ok for the first year or two but they will tend to stretch and wear easy due to the poor quality steel. I like the Trygg chains because they custom build them to fit your exact tire size and they are high quality.
Omg is your google broke.. Start with the big red name on the box convert it from metric to inches because there's only two countries that use the metric system. it'll be much easier to order.
@Rosy Hallowell here is the telephone number to contact Trygg in america +12082676215
daniel solberg well that’s driving distance for me🤪👍
Ate these the SMT FLEXI or None FLEXI? Or are they the ICE model?
SMT's
Man, no excuses now!
Bring on the snow!!
Are you still happy with your solar set-up?
Yeah but bought the chains so probably won't snow this winter ..lol... solar setup it great!
Should be a huge improvement Dale,still think a angle blade on the front instead of the bucket would cut your road snow clearing time in half,you have a quick detach on the front?
I'm hoping. We'll see how this winter goes and see what I can get for next year.
A SXS,Heated Cab with a blade LOL, still need the tractor for jobs around the camp,i have a T190 Tracked Bobcat at my property,all season machine and do some side jobs as well,Win Win !!!!
Norway and Sweden may be surprised to hear they're the only ones using the metric system! I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure there are a couple more 😂
hahaha, I was only joking. =)
Would these chains damage asphalt paving? I to have a long driveway but mine is paved. Thanks
yes, these are studded chains so they would tear up your asphalt. But you can get them without the studs and they would probably make a big difference for you.
@@NB88 ok thanks
Looks like that. To do the job
Great install video! How/where did you buy these chains? I’d like a set for my kubota
Any tractor dealer should be able to order them for you. They are really great chains.
Rossco14 do they come in 18.4X34”?
@@stevek4449 Yes www.trygg.no/EN/no/market/Tire_chain/Tractor/TRYGG_SMT_Standard/TRYGG_SMT_8_11mm;rim=34;tire=18,4;pattern=SMT
On our farm if you move a machine without being in the drivers seat you get an ass beating or fired.
I was going to buy those for my tractor but they cost more because I have a full size tractor.
What are the pros and cons of studed chains verses triple bar or V bar chains?
The studs are the most aggressive and give you the best traction. Of course this means you definitely don't want to use them on asphalt. And I always take them off in summer cause they tear up my gravel road.
Have you done any scouting for deer yet the season starts the end of this month if I’m not mistaken ???
I have and I have some does coming in but no bucks behind them yet. Oct 29 it begins. The deer population is dropping, meanwhile Bear and Moose are everywhere.
NB88 Why is the deer population dropping so much up there are the Coyotes killing them???
How are you able to move the tractor forward while not sitting in the seat? Mine automatically kills the engine, in gear, when I get up from the seat.
ah yes. That tractor has an HST transmission. I would never go back to a geared transmission.
But its a bit risky to be able to move the tractor from NOT in the seat. Just sayin. Mine has a hydrostatic transmission but has a safety switch under the seat. Yours does not?
@@rogerhale6404 No, there's no safety switch under the seat. Honestly I never once thought there was any danger in the last 10 years. But I see what you're saying. I guess there's a chance the pedal could stick or something.
just curious do you live at the cabin year round?
I'm here year round.
Good luck with the snow chains. Don't think I need them in East Texas. We get a dusting of snow about every 5-10 years.
Heh.. someone's got the seat safety switch bypassed..
My chains have 5 keepers on one side and one keeper on the other side.
I have yet to speak to anyone that had a bad thing to say about the Kioti. I have the 2510 with the back hoe attachment and I love the thing.
Same here. When I bought it 10 years ago I was weary but it's been an excellent tractor.
Much easier just to back on to them and hook em up that way
That's how I've always done it, but I'm looking for a different method. Mine are much lighter than his, so I'm going to start by draping them down from the top.
you can put firewood in that crate.
It's a heavy duty little crate. It'll definitely have another use.
Do you have plumbing or a shower?
Trygg means "Safe" in Norwegian.
I had real difficulty with steering because of front tires on icy slope slipping, so I bought chains for only front tires because that's what always spins in any video I watch. Should be great in the forest as well this Spring. Of course it hasn't snowed much since I bought the chains in December 😂
I know what you mean. So Chains on the front will help with steering for sure. Normally Chains go on the rear tires because you will get better traction then if you are having problems steering on icy surfaces use the tractors independent brakes. 🍺
@@NB88 no independent brakes unfortunately, it's like a shopping cart stuck in an icy parking lot that nobody will return😂
Chains also get you stuck deeper It's Oct 9th and we are already getting snow here in Wyoming.
They're on backwards.
The name of the chains "Trygg" translate to safe😀
ah, thanks!
Metric System?...oh and also Canada :)
What!? Are you serious? Not Canada too...nooooo
As of 2006 95% of countries used metricated system.
i was joking!
My mother s name is trygg my family is in Norway wood carving family
