    Tire Chain Install

    Need some serious advice . I purchased a set of " H " style chains for 17.5x 24 R4 tires. I have tried to install them three times already , and come up about 9 inches short on the final outside connection. Any hints as to what I may be doing wrong? Chains are straight , and not twisted when...

    Found a 48". King Kutter tiller in the States for about $1700. Its a 4 hour drive, 8 round...

    ...12 points in Ontario. Still poking around for used but nothing is coming up. New in Winnipeg starts at $2100. I've got snow removal dialed in. The blower is a beauty. Tire chains are working great although I should add more rungs. Maybe I will toy around with the new welder this weekend.

    Extending tire chains

    ...Bolt cutters will remove the links, but you won't be able to reuse them. Personally, I haven't intentionaly removed the crosspieces from tire chains; but I have reattached and added them. I usually get whichever chain splicing link is cheapest and easiest to use, and is close to the size of...

    Extending tire chains

    Hi Guys, new here. I just replaced my old reliable B1700 with an L3700SU. I had just purchased tire chains last year and now I need to extend them. They are 71" long now(22" dia.x 11" tire) and I need to extend them to 119" to fit the bigger tires(38" dia x 13"). They are the 2-link style(23"...

    L1801 Custom Tires

    L1801 I wasn't getting the bite needed for blowing snow. The rice tires were less than adequate at providing traction. I found a set of dual ladder chains on Kijiji. $50 One set would cover 2 tires. They came off a semi truck. I moved the "rungs" over to 1 set, gives me twice as many rungs...

    shortened shifter and pto levers

    I would like to shorten the pto lever, often I bump it unexpectedly. The low/neutral/high lever on the left side gets in the way as well. The 4 layers of clothing makes on/off cumbersome. I bumped it into neutral the other day at the left lever. Took me awhile to figure iut the problem as I...

    ...here out side in shirt sleeves during the day as the temperature is around 50 degrees and is "warm" for him. Anything that works for tire chains is great and if it works for you it is all that counts. A hint on the decompression lever is what I used to do and that is to use a product call...

    Thought I drop you a line, update you on the progress as of late. I bought tire chains off kijiji. $50. They came off a semi truck. They are referred to as dual ladder. 1 set covers 2 tires. I removed the rungs from 1 side and moved them over to the other side. This gave me twice as many...

    home made tire studs

    I've lost a pile of studs now and have abandoned the tire stud idea. I bought a pair of tire chains but they ride between the lugs of the tire, not helpful. I bought a set of used rims and tires, 19.5 inch rims. The tires are readily available and much cheaper than the current 22s. Chains...

    B6000e questions

    I think you can run some light truck 15" snow tire chains and will find they offer mountains of traction with the rear diff lock engaged. You might find chains for $75 to $150 per pair. I have tire chains for tilling and snowblowing on a B6000E and it works well, traction is not the problem...

    kubota l 295 dt

    I don't actually own the L295DT....just did the motor rebuild on it - so, getting the tire size will take a E-Mail to the owner for the answer....but I'll get that to ya. The owner uses his tractor for both commercial (construction) and personal use, so I'm suprised he's left the turf tires on...

    kubota l 295 dt

    I see your L295DT has turf tires. Just bought one I'm planning to restore that has ag tires, but I'd like to switch to turf with chains. What is the turf tire size configuration? Thx.

    1980 b7100

    Got my lower lift arms straightened out with proper angles at the ball ends. Standard 26", Cat 1 drawbar works fine, with a couple of inches to spare on each side. Snugged my check chains/turnbuckles up so there's no chance of snagging a rear tire tread.

    Snow blower B748B on B 6100 D

    Made some front tire chains with the old snowblower chain and the left over new chain from the box of 10ft I ordered. Seemed to work good in first storm. Only cost to me, now no longer have a spare chain for the snowblower. Follow UP 1/16/2011 Front chains are working real good, have not...

    Front tire ballast

    The dealer said he rarely saw a ballasted front tire except when someone was using a heavy rear implement with the loader detached. Then wheel ballast and front weights were used. As for front wheel chains, other than light duty cartype chains, he would not recommend them as the tierods are...

    Front tire ballast

    Is there any situations where one would want to fill the front tires with ballast? Is it recommended? Also does anyone put wheel chains on the front as well as rear wheels when plowing?

    ...run it straight down. The fittings look like it will work alright. Managed to secure turf tires, will pick them up next week. Found tire chains on kijiji for $60. I may stud the rice tires to see how they work in the winter. Switch to the turfs if needed for winter, definitley switch come...

    Snow blade or blower

    Excellent article. X pattern seems to be the winner. I believe Dusty made tire studs with hex bolts. I may take this route instead as I am not sure rice tires can be easily outfitted with chains.
