TRACTOR FRONT TIRE CHAINS . A DIFFERENT WAY TO DO IT

[pukaman2000]

I doubt this will last very long. Tire chains are not suppose to be tight because they will break a link.

I though a good use for old tires would be to slice them up and make chains out of them.

@pukaman2000 well to answer your question . they work extremely good runs like it on rails . very little to no sliding off to the side . and yes tire chans are supposed to be a little loose not a lot . but in this case they have to be tight so they stay on the tire . no they have not broken at all this is the second winter and work mint . also these are not old tires when i installed the chains on them they were brand new .

There's an optimized product based on this idea.

Works great, especialy on ice.

"next generation snow chains" - fits all vehicles and sizes.

[byrongondi]

if you have more chains and if it works you should put two on each tire

[cisjohn2616]

Cool idea !

[theweirdthings]

very nice idea!

[wheelhorsec85]

@theweirdthings thank you . and yes it works great .

[mdr8088]

Dude, did that work???? Just curious, might try that myself?

[wheelhorsec85]

@mdr8088 yes it does work great . you might want to use motorcycle chain . and it does wear out the center of your tire

[TractorWorld]

thats a good idea!!

[CSAKvids]

That's a nice idea actually, I can see it working pretty well

[Searsnut11]

might have to try this on my custom. lol

the thing dont steer worth crap in snow.

I want to do this to my roper this winter. I want to try welding some cross chains together from an old set of farm tractor chains. Might even see if I can weld some studs on there so I can use my v-plow

[wheelhorsec85]

@GMCsierra1500 usually putting cross chains on , on the front has never worked for me at all . a wheel horse friend told me about this and he told me it works great

[conan6868]

I have the same problem sliding to the side. curious to see a video of those chains in action.

[wheelhorsec85]

@conan6868 go to your hardware and get some chain . or motor cycle shop or bike shop . im sure they have a ton of old used chain laying around that you can have for free

[carnivore10]

Now thats interesting...I've never seen that before! great idea!

[wheelhorsec85]

@carnivore10 yes i really cant wait to try it myself
