Cody, As a teamster truck driver that drove the pacific nw for 35+ years, I have to take exception to your hack. I have hung hundreds of truck chains on I-84 and I-90, some of which were terrifying events. Try the Columbia River gorge in a freezing rain storm with gusts of 50-60mph coming sideways off the river with a set of doubles. I could have chained a half dozen semis in the length of time you took here. It is sooo much easier to drape them over the tire equadistant and drive onto the tag end and hook the ends and shake out the slack and rehook and flip the cams and go to work. The secret is to pick a slight incline and roll with gravity so you don't spin the chains off trying to get on them. That's why I usually picked off or on-ramps. It gets you back away from most traffic and it slows the traffic driving by down to safe speeds. It's fine if you are in your shop, but NOT if you are on the shoulder of a freeway with idiots driving by 2ft off your boot heels while you're trying to get going again. Every second you are outside the cab and on the ground dealing with the inconsiderate idiots in those conditions you are at risk. Here's a good tip for the tag ends of the siderail chains so you don't have to wire them to keep them from flailing around. Take the end link and double it back over and slip it over the link you are going to hook into (in your case the third link) and push it up to the top so you have the bottom of that link exposed to hook into. it won't flail then.
The front tires are for steering, makes for easier steering, and the bigger back tires are for power and to get over rough terrain better by providing a larger surface area of contact
Ya gotta be old to know that
Also, when you are pulling something like a plow, the weight will be shifted to the rear of the tractor. The rear tires need to provide the traction to pull the implement. But, like you said the front tired need to turn without the aid of power steering.
also the first type of tractors only had 3 wheels, thus the frount wheel was placed under the engine ~ if you look at the JCB tractor and other modern design they have all the same size wheels
Dual brakes for steering...
The back tires are bigger because the front tires are a smaller diameter than the back ones.
Lol
LowlySteward You are correct... that's a true fact right there
Great answer mate
LowlySteward, you get more forward driving force without loosing ground pressure from a larger diameter.
Because they are back wheel drive
Really good information, didn't even seem like 20 minutes. Happy with what ever time you are able to give us.
Thank you,
that's more work than needed to put on chains, drape them over the tires and pull up and latch.... love the videos and Heartracer wants some petting 👍👍👍
u r awesome. thnx
Thank you Chase
Seems like another thoughtful way of putting chains on. Rear tractor tires are bigger in the back because of weight differential. Over here on the east coast they use calcium inside off them, this helps weigh down the rear for using impliments on the front . We also use bungee straps on the outside to hold the chains tight so they don't accidently open up or come loose.. A trick that seems to work. Keep up the videos!!
I deliberately selected turf tires for my tractor for 3 points. #1. I would be using it over my lawn frequently and wished to disturb the soil as little as possible. #2. Turf tires actually have better traction on snow since there are more biting edges. #3 These things are 4wd and if I ever found that I needed more traction, be it snow, mud or ice, I could always install chains. Chains on a turf tire also have a more consistent contact patch since there aren't the heavy tread lugs for the chains to hide between. also those connector chains you were pointing out offer great sideways stability. That pattern and the honeycomb pattern are very stable against side motion. Oh, it has been 8 years of various snow and ice storms, just maybe this will be the year I'll need the chains. The worst we have had so far is 3 separate 24" snow storms in under 4 weeks. My son has a spare set of bald tires for his Polaris Ranger already chained up and ready to swap when it snows. And with that he was able to install the chains snug then air the tires back up.
man already 71 dislikes? thats horrible you're one of the channels i look forward to most to watching!!!
see the big gap in the chains where they hook up? that's so u don't have to drive onto the chains. & it's easier to pull slack down than it is up. I've done both ways. definitely easier not to pull onto the chains, especially when your out in the weather.
I'll put this in again if you didn't see this before. If you deflate your tires you can get another link in and then inflate them again and they will be so tight you won't need bungies.
A friend taught me years ago to lower the tire pressure way down before you put them on as tight as you can then air them back up and they will be tighter than a 14" tire on a 16" rim. It works good on my Jeep for sure!
I don't think tire chains are that old of a technology. They didn't need them before the automobile, truck and tractor; and those were only invented at the turn of the last century after they invented small engines. Before that, they used sleighs in winter instead of carriages.
And wagons, if used, didn't need any traction! the less the better! As long as the horses can move it without it dragging on the ground, you're fine [I presume].
thats true and you would have your horse shoes corked for winter.that dont mean cork like in a wine bottle either,it means the blacksmith making your horseshoe would put a extra cleat on each side of the shoe.also good when using a workhorse in the mnts logging.
huh, they're like horse crampons en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caulkin
You can let some air out and put the chains on and put air back in tightening the chains good
If there is calcium chloride in the tires for weight that idea won't work.
true
Calcium chloride? I have never heard of that. Keep in mind I am not a farmer or rancher so I am a bit ignorant.
What is the Calcium chloride for?
Interesting. My dad just keeps a scraper blade on the back of his for weight, but we're not farmers, and it's a small one.
Also, calcium chloride is rock salt, though they may be talking about purer stuff for putting in their tires...is that used for something else on farms, besides ice melt?
Calcium chloride is used as anti-freeze if your tires are filled with water. Filling the tire tube with water adds a lot of weight without having to buy or hassle with heavy iron bolt-on weights. As heavy as most older tractors are, they need even Wweight to reduce slippage in snow or frozen ground.
Water/calc chloride has been around for many decades. We never used it because any little leak will start nasty rusting and eventually ruin the rim. Besides we were strong enough to lift the weights and bolt them on to the tractor centers.
I spent 35 years as a paid (carrier) fire company officer. The fire department I worked for was initially Beaverton Fire Department in Beaverton Oregon and later we were annexed into Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue, the second largest fire department in Oregon. Right from the beginning we always used the cam locks on our tire chains and we busted our hind ends to start with the chains so tight we always had at least three cam locks open so we could always re tighten if needed. We were trained and it turned out to be true, you almost cannot have the chains too tight. Any looseness at all results in the cross links hammering on the pavement and the life of the chains is greatly reduced. Our regs. required that we not exceed 35 mph when driving with chains, but if you should go somewhat faster the extremely tight chains allowed you to travel that way with reduced likelihood of breaking cross links, a condition that requires completely stopping and securing the loose end or significant damage can be done to your apparatus very quickly with cross links tearing into the fender well metal. I am now retired and farm full time and still use the same standards when chaining up equipment. It might take a small amount of additional time initially, but it will save greatly in chain wear and damage, especially in operating on pavement. This is definitely not meant as a negative comment, just as information for you and your followers. You have a top notch channel with great information and that's why I am a regular follower. Lessons I learned way back when, that have proven out over time might add to the information you are providing on this great channel. With tremendous appreciation for what you produce on You Tube I'll sign out for now. North West Farmer P.S. We also used a wood block system similar to what you have shown. One set of chains and cut out wooden blocks were carried with us on the rig and often, a second set of chains was stored on the apparatus room floor, placed in the blocks, so all we needed to do to chain up was drive up on the blocks and pull up the chains. I also was a volunteer fireman and chief where I live and we utilized the same system. Battalion chiefs would stop by our stations and if the chains were not tight enough, he usually had a quick discussion with the company officer.
Thanks for the tip. If I ever live in snow country again I will make me a couple. 20 min video every once and a while isn't bad.
"My neighbour needs plowin' "
that dewalt product placement :D haha im just making assumptions but dewalt is really pushing their flexvolt since A LOT of youtube creators have it popping up in their videos.. no hate here just somthing iv noticed from dewalt
I just use a floor jack, I can turn the tire to get it tight instead of having to drive then retighten.
I enjoyed the video and the chain installation method.
I live in upstate NY and we see a fair amount of snow, but probably not as much as you do. My normal snow machines are my diesel pickup with an eight foot Fisher snow plow. I also have a New Holland 45 HP FWD tractor with a rear mounted 7 foot snow blower. I generally use the truck for snow plowing as I would much rather sit in a heated cab on a cold windy night. However, there have been plenty of times that I've had too much snow (I get a lot of drifting) for the truck to push. Then, I have to sit on that tractor (no cab like yours) and wait for the blower to move the snow out of the way. I've always been able to clear the driveway to get to work.
The chain installation method reminded me of the time before I owned my New Holland. I used to own a big, beautiful Minneapolis Moline M602 (real pretty yellow paint). Large rear wheels and I had the heavy chains so I could get around in the winter. I struggled each year to get the tractor set up for the snow blower and that included getting that set of heavy chains over those big rear wheels that were almost as tall as I was. I got the chains as tight as I could, but I still used the rubber bungies to pull out all of the slack. That sure was a lot of work. Your wood ramp system would have been helpful as I always had trouble trying to back over my chains on the smooth concrete floor. I'm not sure if I could have attached the chains at the bottom of the tire as someone here suggested.
Thank you for the helpful RUclips channel and videos! Take care.
whats with the giant gap in the cross links/bars where the cam lock is..seems to me like the tire would slip until it hit the next cross bar..
Scott Tyndall's Home Shop . I thought the same thing. huge gap there. like the videos !
THAT BIG GAP SHOULD NOT BE THERE he has the wrong size chains for them tires, the gap has to be the same all around, with that big gap its not so much the slip, its the tire ripping the cross links out fast and tire coming though, but he should be fine with them as he really don't do much with it, like the old saying go, if you don't use it, it will last 50 years.. lol
Wrong. That "big gap" is designed in. It's there so the chains can be put on from the top and latched at the bottom without having to move the vehicle or put it on a lift.
That makes sense
Scott Tyndall's Home Shop
chains are not the right length if there is a gap. Those were ordered in and not custom made. There should be even spacing between cross chain if done properly.
That's a lot of work to put some chain's on, i could put a full set on my Kenworth in less than 10 minutes and that would usually be in snow or mud
Dale Buckley I know right! If I was tossin iron like this, some other driver would run ya off the mountain just for being an idiot
gravity help's , if you use it ! I honestly wonder where Wranglestar get's some of these idea's .
the big question is did he really need the chains to begin with i men he already did the plowing of the neighbors like 3 videos ago. Pretty sure snow isn't going to stop that thing with out chains to begin with after he went off roading with it in the snow just fine without the chains. As i stated before he seems to just want more accessories then really what is needed.
it's a nice shinny tractor ..
I think he said he was having some trouble when he was plowing, hence the chains. I'm sure it can't hurt with all the snow they have been getting.
Thanks Cody. I love watching snow when it's 108F here!
We always added bungee chords across the outside of the tires, from the 9 to 3 oclock and 12 to 6 positions to help keep everything tight. I knew a guy who each weekend put chains on to go to his cabin and ended up carrying a spare set of rear tires for his truck with chains on them, and swapped them on and off. He let the air out, put the chains on them and aired them up getting them zinging tight... seemed a neat idea.
Rear tires are drive tires.
Scott Barber
I always thought tractors were rear wheel drive.
Syrnian they can be four wheel drive also, but I have never seen a front wheel drive only.
Me neither.
He has stated that this tractor is four wheel drive.
"My neighbor needs plowed out"
Never get tired of hearing your stories! Keep em coming!
I know nothing about this kind of stuff but it looks like that Spencer logger's tape is the best at what it does and it's good to see old stuff still manufactured and sold because it works.
How much would new chains for a truck be.
depends on the truck tire size, chain dimensions, and if they're custom made for the truck
Ben Poliquin i feel you brother. Im on the other side (quebec) and this past week the road conditions were horrible. I had trouble even with brand new studded tires on my truck
joeboxersss ya same here, my truck has been sliding all over even with winter tiers.
Chains are only illegal on pavement. Tractors around here that do NOT go on pavement are chained up.
Not illegal, and actually REQUIRED here in several States in the US under certain conditions.
The 20-minute video was great, however, the THREE adverts (that don't let you play the video until the ad is finished) smacks of monetisation and is a p.i.t.a.
Enjoyment successfully spoiled.
While i think he does have control over the amount of points at which commercials are shown, there is no control over the kind shown. Google just does that based on Bob knows what. And yes, the ones that just run without any way to skip are the worst ! especially if they take long ?!?
Some adds are also horrid, and clearly not made for the interwebs, if you can't bring your point across in the first 5 to 7 seconds the add is basically useless, this is not TV ! ... but, ya know, these things get made by people 40+ and likely have no real clue on how the internet works, all they try and do is force it into something they understand and then likely wonder why it doesn't ... also, adds that last longer than 15-20sec, WHY? i see some that last like over a minute !
But anyways, my general frustration is getting me sidetracked here, mainly wanted to mention that the unskipable adds were likely you just being unlucky, i just got to skip mine ^^
take the ads and support the channel. I can watch 30 seconds of ads for every 10 minutes of enjoyable video.
youtube red.
Heaven forbid... He should do this for free.
Heaven forbid someone with the surname Smart should actually investigate ad blocker extensions for his browser. Far "smarter" to grouse about it in a youtube comment.
Never had to put chains on a vehicle before but it's something I always wanted to learn, lots of good tips here!
My father has worked construction for the last 35 years. We have always used scrape pieces of 12-2 Romex as tie down straps for ladders and various other things on the ladder racks of our trucks. Stuff is tough, flexible and wont rust out.
These tractor commercials are losing my interest.
Those chains are more for show than anything. You need spur chains to bite into the ice and packed snow.
Nonsense,
Spurred chains pop tires
Great idea. Can't wait to show my dad. Should make it a little easier when there's 3 trucks that have to get done.
i just love you. My snow chains are on the right way and the easy way. thanks for sharing.
Dewalt sent you a "review pack" like all the other RUclips woodworkers? Makes me not want to buy their tools even more.
Dude, your doing it wrong! ( chaining ) Id offer advice, however yuppies posing as homesteaders piss me off. go back to California
Hello Wranglerstar good tip I use something similar for my pickup . 1' square 1/2'' plywood then add fir strips across to lay the
chain into. Then I found a product call chain it tight made in the USA. they are worth mentioning . This product is so simple and effective at tightening the chain to keep them on . Thanks for your entertaining and insightful tutorials
I miss your small woodworking projects.
Happy new year for you and your family from germany.
I will make these boards for my tractor next year. Thanks for sharing.
I don't mind longer videos and I enjoy the anticipation from the multiple shorter videos. Keep the great videos coming!
Thanks for showing the correct way to put chains on Cody..😉👍 very helpful thank you 👍👍👍
More tips and tricks on subjects I thought I had a handle on. Thanks again for sharing.
Thanks, best thing I've learnt about putting on chains. All the best..
the cam locks are for when the chains stretch over time. take a piece of square tubing and put two pieces of round bar on one side close to the end and use it for leverage when tightening the outside boomer. works like a charm!
My spencer log tape came with the nail already attached. Im surprised yours did not? I enjoy the logging style videos and gear involved in that. Old or new ways welcome here 😊
the tires r bigger in the back for several reasons. first off most first tractors were 3 wheeled tractors so the tall tires added stablity. the tall tires also add traction and they reduce rolling resistance over rough terrain. great video love watching!
Love the stories. Awesome drone video at the end. Not a shooting angle you see much. Gorgeous trees loaded with snow.
thanks for showing that for many. Ive been doing that installation on cars, trucks , and tractors since the 60"s. When winter starts my chains, snubbers and blocks go into the trunk.
For our fire dept. we use the auto chains. It's a pneumatic arm with a rubber wheel on it, and a steel wheel attached to the rubber wheel, with 12 chains attached to it. The rubber wheel pushes on the inside of the tire, and whips the chains around, and under the tire. They're no good in mud, but they're awesome in snow.
one of the finest youtube channel you can find on youtube .I`m a new subscriber and i love this channel!!!!!!
wow, that is a good idea! I wish we got snow here often enough that I needed a trick like this. I dont even have chains for my truck... Thanks again Cody
For Tractor tires i use the following process. First set the parking brake, chock the tires, Jack one rear tire off the ground about 3". Flop the chains over the top of the tire enough so that they stay on without sliding off the tire. Take a bungee cord and hook the top end of the chains to the rim. At this point i will say that i lightly set the parking brake so that i can rotate a tire with a little effort. Spin the tire so that the chain ends are hanging off each side. Fuss the chain around the tire. Spin the tire to front or rear so the connections are not directly under the tire. Now fasten them using gravity to keep the chains in place instead of fighting them trying to hold them up.
What i like about your trick is that it is safer since the vehicle is on the ground, these ramps can be thrown in the truck so you can chain up on the road faster and safely. I think for a truck or car your way is best Cody! I know i am going to make my own set of snow chain Wrangler Wramps. Be Well Folks
Very nice chain hack ; deflating the tire after it's on your wood block then reinflating afer chain is secure , snugs the chains real nice.
Congrats on the 500k subscribers, what a nice way to end the year, you have definitely paid your dues. Great news about Jeff's new channel. All the best in the new year from north of the border.
I enjoy watching your videos. I like the things in the background like your Snap On vise, and hammer and other high end tools. When I put on my chains I use a jack and a 6x6 and get the rear wheel off the ground. It makes it so nice. Then I use the blade to lift the front up. I have a 1981 kubota L245dt.
Thanks for the chain hack! I don't know about anyone else, but I like the longer videos.
Happy New Year!
Thanks for the video. Always wanted to know how to put chains on a vehicle.
If you deflate the tire a lil bit before installing chains then refill after is a easy way of tightening them and ensuring they are tight the first time.
as a Firefighter, this is an awesome idea. will definitely try it out.
Chain blocks... make life so easy They used to make rubber ones back in the 70s. You could have rear chains on in like 5 minutes...brilliant
I just use a 10 ton hydraulic bottle jack to lift one side at a time. You can then spin the tire by hand and position the chains. Using a small load binder to pull the running chains tight works for me to get the cam lock on.
Then I use bungy cords to tension the chains, four per wheel.
can't wait to see Jeff channel, he's a lucky man to have a great neighbor..FYI 20 min is fine...
Congrats on 500k subscribers Wranglerstar family!!
Always a blessing when you are teaching and instructing
That's an awesome idea I'm going to mak some for my truck thank you Cody
That's the shiniest set of snow chains I have ever seen! I'll have to make a set of those blocks. We'll be looking forward to subbing Jeff's channel when he gets it up and going!
Almost at 1/2 million subscribers now that's something to be proud of. Great work guys hope you guys had a great holiday. Thanks
I've heard a couple reasons some technical others just make sense. Big wheels add torque specially sense back wheels are drive wheels. Big wheels spread the weight of a heavy tractor over loose or wet ground better. Small front tires have a smaller turn radius. Small front tires make it easier to see where and what you run over. Plus big back tires keep you from falling into to the pto, and small front tires give you a step stool to help do field repairs to the engine.
one thing we used to do when puting chain on are wrecker . was let most of the air out then install the chains the air the tires back up they were tight then i love the long videos god bless from the midwest
Those blocks are cool. Glad you're the neighbor out.
I love these longer videos.
A large surplus ammo can is a great way to store chains on the tractor so they're always on hand should you need them.
Lift the front wheels off the ground with the front end loader to put the chains on. Love ramp idea on the for the rear.
Rear chains are H pattern so chain doesn't fall between the big lugs. Front tires are smaller to give you a tighter turning radius. Big lugged front tires should also get H pattern chain to prevent side push when plowing heavy snow
Sorry about two comments: I do install/deinstall heavy chains about every second week due to my work profile: chains are not allowed in some city areas but I need them when doing snow removal in rural areas. My tractor is New Holland T6 and therefore due to big tires the chains are really heavy.
can't wait to start watching Jeff's Chanel!!!!!!!!
Thanks Cody, cant wait to see Jeff's Martian Chronicles.
I have recently found your u tub videos. I like what you're doing and the advice on skills and life you give.
I am a retired Police Officer for Ohio. I live near Middletown Ohio on two hundred acres, one hundred in woods and one hundred in field that I lease to a hay farmer.
I had a Morton building with living quarters, 100' wide X 300'long and I love it. I keep my RV and other toys in it.
Here in Ohio we don't get the snow you get but I like you prepare for winter weather. I have radiant floor heating through out my building plus solar panels and wind generator's. My power system is controlled by a automated smart control system.
This Morton building is cheaper to heat and cool then my old 3,000sq' home.
Have you ever thought about a wind generator to supplement your energy?
Keep the rubber on the road.
The longer the better when it comes to videos
Hello there mr Wranglestar
I must say i have a easyer way to put on chains. You drive them on instead of lifting. Putt them upsidedown then you put a rop thru the rim and tie the chain around. After that you drive forward one lap then its just to hock em toghter.
Keep up the good work
I enjoy long videos Cody Its taken over my former television watching more entertaining and educational!
When I put the chains on, I jack up the tractor so I can rotate the tire. I really like that wood block idea and I'm definitely gonna steal it. Now, back to why I jack up the tractor.
It makes it a lot easier to tighten the chains without having to drive around. Sometimes the chains will seem tight, even after driving around. Jacking it up will eliminate that.
love the slightly longer video.
keep up the good work Cody.
20 min, YYYYYEEEEAAAA!!!!! I find it amazing how you can put up such great videos everyday!
I really like those blocks. thanks for the idea
The larger rear tires are traditionally the drive wheels, and they have large diameters to get more leverage for moving the tractor forward or backwards.
jealous of all the snow you have... seems like midwest winters are less snowy now than when i was little.
Nice set of chains. Ours were all beat up back in the day.
it would be nice to hear more about the toughest man you know. Sounds like an interesting guy I've known people similar to him
Great vid! Chains on the front need a bit more bite for turning, that's why the spacing is smaller? Just a guess.
Need more flotation in the rear to carry implements on the three point hitch most row crop tractors today actually put duals or triples on the rear to support increasingly larger implements.
Also weight transfers to the back tires when pulling the more draft the lighter the front.
Nice hack! As for tractor tires. It is most important that a tractor doesn't sink, therefore the weight needs to be distributed evenly. Large tires in the back accommodate this need and small tires in the front of tractors are often "in tandem" for the same reason, for weight distribution. If they are smaller maneuverability is also being considered. Couple this with the torque and friction being produced by the large back tires and the package becomes complete. Thanks for the cool videos!
really like the long videos well your working and like your story's and tips
Very much looking forward to Jeff's new RUclips channel! Thanks Cody!
Want a be. Yap yap yap! All the people in Starbutts will love your stories.
nice video. If you have a floor jack it is quite a bit easier to jack the tractor up in neutral and hang the chains on the lug of the tire. Then just spine the tire and it will pull the chains up while tensioning them with the weight of the chains. Pretty slick. I just did this on my 58' ford. Those chains are a grizzly bear to handle.
Lovely video, thanks again Cody. Great outro shots as well
