- Video of me Building these Tire Chains here: • DIY Tractor Tire Chain...
In my last video I fabricated some DIY home made tire chains for my Kubota L4701 because I was having some trouble with getting traction in the snow when I was snow plowing with the tractor. Well we got another snow storm and I finished the Tire chains just in time to try them out after this snow storm finished dropping about 9 inches of snow.

Hey guys and gals! Don’t forget to hit that subscribe button so you don’t miss any of my Tom foolery!
Good to see the chains working.
I guess some people don't understand. When you have as much snow as you did last time, you're looking for anywhere to put it. Sometimes, across the road is the best place.
On the internet, everyone has an opinion…that’s all I have to say about that. Thanks for the continued support! Enjoy your holidays!
I do commercial snow plowing and have properties that I push across the road. As long as you clean it up nobody cares.
@@jkholley1118 aint that the truth. Everyone does it. But man you shoulda seen the people burning me in my last snow removal video.
Those work great so you did a good job on them you could just buy them cheap chains for the front wheels but whatever you seem to know what you're doing take care nice video
My old ATV chains are very close to fitting, they would just turn out like the back and have some gap to them…I might have to make it work.
Just Add A few More Links To Fill Gaps. The More cross Chains The better To keep cross from falling in lugs. Your Chain set Is Just Fine I Too Make Anything I can to plow, 4 Tractors & 1 Skid Steer That is a Lot of Money to spend. I Do what I can every Year, It Works For Me, At a Min of Cost, ONE SET HAS WORN OUT IN 30 YEARS of Pushing, Snow blowing & Dozing soil. Keep up the Engineering.
They seem to be working fine for now, I might modify them over summer when I have some more free time! Thanks for watching!
Over the summer you may want to look into the length of the cross links. I think if you shorten the cross links by 2 to 4 links this would bring the outer and inner circumference chain higher up the tire. You could use zip ties to tie together links shorten them for test fitting. If you want to get fancy using lap links, I suggested last video, or you could use cross links as well.
Yeah, I might make some modifications to them over summer, but for now they work...Maybe if we get a break for a week or two this winter I'll change things up a little, but with all the snow we've been getting I need to have them ready!
I agree cross links too long. good job with the build
Awesome Sir fantastic job DYI!!
Thanks! They sure do make a difference!
Hope you have a Merry Christmas Elliot🎄!
Thanks man! You too!
enjoyed it bud, keep it up,
are you getting hit by this weekends snowstorm (Christmas)
stay safe out there
Winter storm Elliott is here and hitting hard! Stay tuned for that upcoming video!
After seeing a couple of your videos and subscribing, I really do miss snow. NOT! 😆 🤣 😂 😹
Happy holidays. 😊
It gets tiresome after a while, happy holidays!
Glad to see the chains are working
They are a game changer! Thanks for watching!
Snow chains do make a huge difference ❤️❤️
They sure do! Very happy with the results!
Looks like your homemade chains work pretty well. I grew up on a farm when I was a kid, as far as turning, I don't know if your tractor have a right and left break but you can turn the wheel push down on one of the breaks down on the side that you are turn in it'll slow that wheel up and the other one will speed up and it'll help you turn. Farmers would use that same technique when they came to the end of the field and they needed to turn right around and go nearly back the way they came. Thanks Michael ☺️
It does have steering brakes, and honestly I’ve never thought to try that in the snow…I’ve used it in the field before, not sure why it didn’t click and give it a try. I’ll be sure to try that next time! Thanks for watching!
Elliot, for some reason I would have never thought of making my own chains. I enjoyed seeing your thought process making them and it is great to see them working for you. I have enjoyed seeing your content and subscribed after seeing the first video I watched. Keep up the great work! Wishing you and yours a Merry Chritmas & Happy New Year.
Thanks for watching and glad I could earn your subscription! I’m very pleased with the way they turned out! Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
Pretty damn cool you were able to make chains and save some money. Great job!
Thanks for watching. I love trying to do everything I can myself rather than purchase. I learn new skills and save money in the process
That's why I call them the weather guesser's.
I think they just throw a dart at a spinning wheel with numbers on it
@@EverythingElliott Sounds about right.
Great Job Looking good. Okay Fort Wayne Indiana Last Night and today. Not as much snow as thought. But last night -10 degree -30 wind 50mph wind. Right now -3 40 mph wind ugh time for work.
-12 and 50mph snow here right now
@EverythingElliott ugh we only got probably 3 inches kind of hard to tell with the wind have a blessed Christmas 🎄
@@davidbaron6647 you as well!
Another awesome video.I love my kubota and really enjoy watching others use their's. Very important tip about back dragging. When bucket is tilted all the way down the pressure of the spoils being dragged is all at the very end of cylinders.last couple inches or so.This causes damage to cylinder and piston.Very expensive cylinders. I've seen them split and rams bend and it doesn't take much.Snow is probably safe if it's not wet, but dirt and heavy rocks, logs ect can.Hope to see u pull a plow or disc.
I don’t have a plow, and I traded my discs in for a rototiller. I you should be able to check out all my tractor videos using attachments on my “kubota L4701” playlist on my channel! Thanks for watching!
That is a nice tractor.. I don't run tire chains at all.... That was my reasoning for buying a Kubota four-wheel drive... Haven't had an issue yet... As far as steer chains I hear say from some it's not highly recommended could cause front drive part issues... Just use your brakes to help steer a little or take some load off the snow pusher raise it a hair
With the snow we get even in four wheel drive I lose traction. Go check out my last snow pushing video where we got 5’ of snow over a weekend, and you’ll see what I mean. Thanks for watching!
@@EverythingElliott yeah where I come from we get pounded pretty good baby bites that's all
Nice work Elliott!!
Thanks for watching!
As always, great job and great info
Hope you’re warm and cozy down there
Chains look great my bought chains have a large gap like that as well. Check with your highway department you may be able to grab a cutting edge from a grader for you back drag. They usually replace them around here every storm the wore out ones are still about 4” wide could be a good start to your back drag project
While that’s a fantastic idea. I use rubber cutting edges on my driveway because I have millings. The rubber cutting edge for my pusher was $10. I was thinking of just getting 2”x2” heavy wall tubing and slap a rubber edge on it
Chains on drive wheels make a huge difference. We had them on all our tractor during the winter and spring months. Don’t get me wrong you can still get stuck but if you don’t try anything too ridiculous you are able to get through most deep snow and muddy areas a lot easier. You can always add a section of chain in the areas that seem to be lacking. Oh and I just subscribed.
Thanks for watching! I’m very happy with the way they turned out, I might add some very minor modifications to them to button up that gap I have where the chains meet, but besides that they work great!
I'm not sure if anyone mentioned or thought of this, but what if you aired down a little bit on the tires a 3-4 psi. i wonder if it would help them fit better. Just ordered my first set today. Thanks for the video!
My rear tires are filled with liquid ballast so I don’t believe it would make as big of a change as one would imagine. Since I made these myself I wasn’t expect an absolute perfect fit, but they work very well for what they are
Try using your brakes to steer! Not sure how there set up on an hst... chains are working great. Glad to see it.
Thanks for the tip! I actually do that in my most recent video! You should check it out!
@Everything Elliott I thought you were... I thought then, "I wonder if he seen my comment" great videos, keep up the good work...
@@Gwalker0220 i read them all!
Great video, Elliott. Good to see your chains work for you. Are your rear tire filled, or is the barrel ballast all you use? It seems to really work for you. Merry Christmas!
The tires are filled as well. I put the ballast on there to make sure I have as much traction as possible! Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!
Tires on my 3005 jd are turf tires never have problems in snow
Go back and check out my 5’ of snow over a weekend. I don’t think there’s any tire in this world that would push that snow in one go.
I use a 54 inch frontier snow thrower when we get six or 7 feet
How wide is your machine vs snow pusher? Would you get one any wider now that you have the traction?
The pusher is the exact size of the machine. I might go for a 7’ if I did it again, probably wouldn’t go any bigger than that, mainly because the door I pull my tractor into is 8’ wide.
@@EverythingElliott how much wider would a 7' be than your machine?
@@BS.-.- my tractor is 6’ wide
What grade / size chain did you use to build those?
I believe it was 3/8s, I have a whole video on how I built them on my channel, go check it out! It was posted like a week prior to this video
Hi great video I have a question what is the name of the tape measure you use to the deck with ?
It’s a lufkin tape measure. I believe it’s glow in the dark as well if that’s what you’re gettin after
@@EverythingElliott yes it was I never seen a tape measure like that before
Dont fill ur ditch with packed snow it backs water up in the spring
Ditch is still about 3’ from the snow piles. Ditch runs right on the wood line
I must be a weather man then because I tell the wife she’s going to get 12” and really she gets 6” 2 times that night (if I’m feeling energized that is).
Giggity giggity
