Choosing the Right Tractor Tire Chains

Tractor tire chains come in many of the same models, styles, and designs as other tire chains. Depending on the size and brand of the tractor and tractor wheel, a variety of tire chains can be found.

Like most other types of tire chains, there are many different options available in tractor tire chains. The most popular choice, and the most widely recommended, is two-link spacing with an optional V-Bar. Two link spacing means that there is a cross chain every second side chain link. Basically, it has twice as many cross chains as the four-link spacing, which only has a cross chain every fourth side chain link. The extra chains provide for a more steady, smooth ride and more steering control. The optional V-Bar chains are extremely helpful on ice, hills, and other hard-packed conditions. While V-Bar chains are available in both two- and four-link spacing, they should not be used on pavement since they can damage the surface of the road.

Kubota Tractor tire chains are available in the basic two- and four-link chains. Kubota recommends using tire chains and wheel weights in icy conditions. Even when using tire chains, drivers should still drive at a speed slow enough to maintain complete control of the tractor at all times.

For farm tractors, dealers recommend duo-group cross tire chains. These chains are not connected in the middle, so the pattern does not fall between the tread bars. Duo-group cross chains are recommended for field work, deep tread, off road use, and hilly conditions, making them the perfect choice for farm tractor tire chains.

Portable Snowmobile Loading Ramp

Portable Snowmobile Loading Ramp
Basically You build a 2x4 frame in the bed of the truck. A 1/2" (or 3/4" whatever you want. I have the 1/2" just to see if it would last) 4x8 sheet goes on top of that frame. The "ramp" needs to be a minimum thickness of a 3/4" 4x8 sheet that MUST BE REINFORCED with either 2x4's or 2x6's on the top side (to keep from bending/snapping in the middle if your sled stalls out and to keep you from driving off the edge when loading it). The "ramp" has a couple of eyelets in the corners. You use those eyelets for tie-downs to the truck to keep the ramp from sliding off the tail gate when you give the sled some gas. Once the sled is run up the ramp and is sitting on the 1/2" 4x8 sheet that is on top of the 2x4 frame in the bed of the truck, you unhook the tiedowns and grab the handle on the end (end on the ground) of the ramp and slide the ramp in under the 2x4 frame. You can have your sled loaded and the ramp put away in about 1 minute. Then you use the tie downs on the rear of your sled to secure it. I have in receipts building this ramp. I had a couple of parts lying around, but had to buy the 4x8 sheets, the 8 ft. 2x4's and the hardware. It was nearly for a box of 2 1/2 inch deck screws.I had the tie-downs and some 2x4's and the 2x6's for the truck bed frame. I wanted a ramp that I could store somewhere in the bed of the truck. So I thought, 'Why don't I raise up the sled (with the 2x4 frame) and slide the ramp under the sled?' I tried it and it works great. The eyelets ...
