As I get older, I dislike the cold weather more each year but when a good snow storm covers the trees, bushes and land. It reminds me how beautiful nature can be.
Its nice and sedate and peaceful, and if you have all your ducks in a row...snow removal, cozy fire, cup of coffee, it makes you feel like a conqueror.
Honestly I love your content. It's like back when my grandpa was still alive and I would help him out around the farm. Always getting into something. You give the same kind of talks in a lot of your videos as my grandpa did. Philosophy that can be applied to almost anything. thanks for all you do
Watching you struggle with tire chains makes me very thankful to live where I don’t have to deal with that.
I'd never seen a binder before until I worked for a landscaping company where we had to move huge equipment on trailers, and needed to secure it with no slack. It did take me a few times to get it straight in my head how to set them up right the first time. The ones we used were a lot bigger, and were intended to be kept on for the duration of the drive. That little one is a really cool assistant.
I deflate my tires when putting on chains, seams to work well on keeping tight,
DUDE ARE YOU SERIOUS????? U BELEIVE THIS KID HE CANT EVEN SPELL SEEMS
Mr Panda autocorrect got me
y2kxj was thinking that bit didn't wanna sound stupid if there's a certain way for these tires and chains. Lmao
Steve Sheppard yeah some times I remove the valve core, sometimes once deflated you can get just a smudge tighter.
use to do that...then lucked into a spare set of tires and just keep the chains on the R4 tread and run the others in late spring thru early fall
I saw how you did it last year and assumed since I've never used or installed chains before in my life, that YOU were the expert. (Joke's on me, huh?) I really appreciate your self-deprecating sense of humor and your transparent ability to laugh at yourself. I love your stories... and your videos.
To get the chains on the rears easier:
- lay the chains down
- drive a short distance onto them
- hook the end cross chain over a tire lug behind tire
- drive forward
The tire pulls the chain up and over for you and tightens it at the same time. Still have to tighten after a short drive, but the tractor does most of the up front work. Chained mine up this week in 45 mins this weekend.
WOW amazing how the "hack" is way more difficult and time consuming than just installing them! FAIL!
I like deflating the tires and using a chain binder to tighten the chains up. Latching them in place and then re-inflating the tire. No need for cross binders or anything. Chains will be very very tight and will not walk off the tire.
Air down the tires, tighten chains as much as you can, reinflate. That is what we do.
That doesn’t work for a skid steer so much like I’m going to be putting chains on.
you know that caster tip is really good cause it all ways happens nice one Cody.
Just got that tensioner set w/binder tool for my JD2025R. Could have just used it first and prob figured it out without too much difficulty. But often it’s better to see someone doing it first. So your demo was definitely helpful. Basically watched the part about using the binder tool for the 6x tension spring set up. Got the Diamond Stud chains on back and the Vbar on front, both from Tire.Chain in Johnstown, PA. None of this stuff was cheep but now I can GO ANYWHERE IN MY BACKYARD THAT I NEED TO!!! (And I have a few acres of backyard and about a foot of snow!!!) Thanks for the video!!
Can you imagine how bad we would all feel for Jack if UA-cam didn't exist he would never get a break from all these lessons and stories this guy tells lol
Ahh you brough up my terrible memories from the Finnish army, i drove a big four axle offroad truck, imagine putting eight of those big ones on in a hurry on site! 😪 The wire trick helps alot though, place the chains behind the tyres, attach them to the tyres' tread with a wire/cord loop, drive forwards until the chains are wrapped around. Helps alot with heavy chains 😊
It's crazy how a whole days work only makes a 20 min video. Thanks for the hard work Cody.
Right tool for the job, like I told you last year when I recommend the binder to you, glad to see you got the right tool!
Boy am I excited for Wranglerstar winter videos!
If you go fast enough with your 12 foot mower, your 10 foot door is suddenly bigger!
This life hack also works when you're backing up with a tall trailer into a low clearance doors
I had a similar hunting camp story from decades ago. My 4 wheeler broke down so I got the bright idea to take my moms Chevy Chevette to deer camp. I somehow managed to make it up the logging roads on the mountain, but most of the exhaust was still on the mountain when I left. Chris
Nice tutorial on the chains. I have used chains once in my life and I remember it being a big hastle.
Those blocks are a brilliant idea. I must make some and try them for this year on my lorry when I cut the grass. Thanks.
Thanks for the video!
The one set of chains you put on the rear tire and showed us is possibly on backwards. Should have the clips to the front and the loose ends to the rear when you drape them over the tire. I believe it has something to do with once your chains are on and you spin the tires, the clips don't have the extra bit (where the locking clip attached) forward with rotation where it could grab something. But they may still work fine all season and never grab anything... but maybe a note to self for next year.
Nice job I'm ready for snow myself I love it
AMAZING Tire Chain Hack For Winter
thanks for the videos Cody.
Gods blessings to all...
I'm ready for the snow!
suka bliat
I guess I'm pretty off topic but do anybody know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@Keegan Corey Lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it by googling =)
LOL I understand your frustrations Cody. The wheels find everything on the floor.
I remember last years snow chain saga. Glad to see it’s going better this year
That is what that's for ,I got some of those tools an I would've never known thanks for that
When I used to put chains on a 4wheeler to plow snow.....I would always let air out of the tire, once the chains were as tight as I could get then.....add air, and everything was tight.
steve shep..........i bet looking at it from the side you could tell the difference if you took a picture
My dad used to be a logger. Big cleated paw chains were a necessity in the winter. we found it was easier to use the cleats on the tires and a couple of bungee straps to drive them up on and over the tire, much less work than lifting them by hand which alone would take atleast two people.
Like the block suggestion, Thanks. Flat pry bar works great on the mower-crete. I hang my chains, no rust (light coat of oil) and out of the way.
Just watched a 16 minute video of chains being put on a tractor tire... Love this life... Lmao.Keep up the great video though man! Support from NY!
Thanks for sharing the tool which you used to install the chain tighteners.
My dad was a lorry driver in the UK for most of his working life. He used a tool for putting tension on chains (like the one you used, but bigger) and called it a 'warwick'. There'd be a warwick on each chain used to secure a load.
Grab one of those timbers by Jack's bridge, knock a corner off lengthwise, put it at the slab edge for your bldg, and have an easier time pulling equipment inside. It's hard to pull up that vertical stepped edge.
Or just drop a shovel or two of gravel in front of the step and make a ramp. Works just as well
Or put the tractor in 4 wheel drive.
Watch as never know when a piece of information is going to be needed and with Cody, always unrelated nuggets of knowledge and wisdom mixed in.
Nicely done!!
Well done!
Always very professional videos. Great choice of music every time.
Great job on the chains Mr. W.
that first part is so true. seems to always happen to me when using a creeper or whatever
Great video Cody. Most truck drivers in my area have an old addage When the roads get too slippery to have to chain up its time to find a rest area or truck stop and get off the roads until the highway crews can do their jobs. Most companies in my area do not give their driver's tire chains.
Looks like a lot work to put those heavy tire chains on. Good luck with putting on the other two ! Thanks !
Those are nice spring binders. I deflate my tires when tightening the chain, and run wire from links across the center, and twist them tight.
Love the music choice at the mower
Ive always layed out the chains, drive over and hooked em up. Blocks seem good.
Our 1964 Massey is ready for the snow, the plow is done from the rebuild we did this summer and we have the blower fan and shoot rebuilt as well. Bring on the 6-8 foot drifts!
Great video full of comic gold!! thanks 😊
I’m just now starting this video and I do t know if you cover this or not but I air down the tractor tires before putting the chains on. Then after getting them as tight as I can , I air back up to help tighten them further. You don’t want the tires to be too tight because more air equals less traction. But doing this in moderation really helps
Those are going to be awsome with the snow blower on the tractor, at the moment I've only been afforded a 2wd f150 and 2 chains that I fount at the flea market but it worked pretty good last year as long as my front tires have good tread.
On our work trucks we just hook the ends of the chain back in the lock assembly that hooks the chain together and it keeps it from floping around. We have to put the chains on in the snow so it's best to keep the extra length so they are easier to put on in bad weather. I'll have to carry a small chain binder too. Great idea!
As a trucker for 22 years! You would get your chains with cam locks on them so you can wrench them down so tight. That would save a bunch of time. I can throw 6 sets on in 15 min.
I used to drive a semi from Denver to Gypsum CO all the time. Had to chain up a couple hundred times. First time I put chains on it took close to and hour. By the end of the winter I could put all 4 on in less than 20 minutes. Your absolutely right tighter the better.
1/4 ton come along from harbour freight will do wonders.
in Canada we use snappi hooker tarp straps for cross tighten.
Love the music!
I do like your chain tensioners, sure beats rubber straps I was using.
+Wranglerstar I know this is 7 months late but I figured I would chime in anyway. Trucker here. I have used the blocks many times to get chains on. The thing I di differently is I place the chains on the ground with one set of cross-chains laying thru it. I lay the resty of the chain in front of the block. Then drive the wheel unto the block. Afterwards all you have to do is put the chains around the tire and tighten. Drive off the block to let the chains settle, retighten if needed, and put the bungies/springs on the chains. I never understood putting the chains on the top of the tire and then driving over the loose end.
For the rears, I jack up the wheels. I have trouble with the wheel rolling the chains off. As someone mentioned, I use a ratchet strap to pull the chain all the way around to hook the inside. Much easier than how I did it in the past.
Now that's what I'm talking about. Getting rid of those small annoyances makes everything SO much more pleasant to use. Even if there was no real difference in the usability. It's the state of mind that matters the most.
Cool.
Chaining up, at night, in subzero(f) snow, is hard. On big truck tires, the chains weigh 20+ #. And sometimes they get twisted in storage......Thanks for bring it all back!
Great video.
I remove the air and then install the chains, get the tension correct and then air tires back up and they are tight. Works for me. I use bungee cords for chain tensioners.
Do you still carry on the regular while on the homestead?
Great video!
For chaining our lot trucks we used solid rubber bungee cords. Once installed, bend the hooks closed. Break a cord, no big deal, 2 bucks and put a new one on. Plus you are only pulling one cord tension instead of all the spring tensions on your star configuration.
Really like the start of this video with the 12 ft mower
very valuable info
I can’t wait watch that thing chuck snow!
Literally feels like you just took the chains off last month!! Man the time has flew by this summer..... never enough time :)
So I just came across this videos! First off I like your videos clear and down to the point. Second you need one more tool for your chains for the connecting link. Little wrench that fits in the slot on the link. We use steel rod to make a L the pound the end flat to fit in the slot works great!!
reminds me of putting the wrap around tracks on the skid steer.
Love the vids 👌🏻
Got to tell you, it just doesn’t come up much in Jacksonville, Fl. I have hunted with friends in the Judith Mountains near Lewistown, Mt. This
Year, for the first time, we had to use chains and I learned about installing chains. Wish we’d have had your chain tensioner.
Scraping off the mud from around the blades looks soooooooooo satisfying... i'd loce to do that haha
that tool you have there looks like what my dad always called a comealong. He used bigger ones to take slack out of chains when hauling equipment when he had his pipeline company.
idea to make that tensioner a little better is instead of having solid pins run through the lever action it should be an inside threaded pin then you can use a threaded hook and if you need an inch just unscrew the pin a bit so you dont have to use a crow bar to help. this would help you adjust larger tires and smaller tires using the same tool. just food for thought if you wanted to make your own version. :)
Try laying them out behind the tire and then back on to them. Then it is a simple task to just pull them up onto the tire.
Hey Ranger start Do you think you can do a video series about important tools for a beginner truck kit
Use narrow tires in the snow with a lot of pressure to open up the tread and dislodge the snow. Big tires good only for showing off.
8:10 another great example of Cody trashing a tool before he knows how to use it! Love your videos keep them coming.
I think that shortening the end of the hook on that small binder would make it work even better. You don't need to go 1/2-3/4 of an inch past the link you want to grab.
i usually lay the chains on the ground drive over em hook the start on the wheel drive 3/4 of the wheel diameter forward, so its easy attachment and tightening sometime later when i remember.
On The Dalton Highway in AK we were throwing chains daily. Its all how u hang them on the rack. Some guys get both on in 5 min.
In the volly halls up here we used to roll the rigs up on the blocking over the chains and drape the rest... first guys to respond would lock them up, or if not needed, slowly roll out and leave them behind. Then the new rigs with auto chains started coming into service which are alright if you are rolling... but do you zero good if you need to deploy them from a sitting stop, or when backing up.
Sweet burnout! :)
you are more prepared for winter than most; cutting those tails actually makes the chains harder to get on; I put the chain over the wheel ; letting the ratchet ends of the chains (just touching) the ground (to the back)pull ahead until you can grab your tails and clip them to the ratchets than tighten and like you say in the video you have to move your vehicle a couple times to really snug up your chains; this method we use in the oilfields out west and in the north; very fast and no crawling under truck or tires; I am used to putting on doubles on both sets of duals, a steering and a trailer chain for bush driving; also carry cheater links in your tractor; very handy if you break a cross link or have to repair a chain or tails or whatever, another great video Mr Wranglerstar
looking back at your video again you hung those chains perfectly
Wranglerstar, would you prefer plastic or metal wedges?
Cody I hope you and your Family do some of those Christmas stories this year

I noticed that the caps of the hydraulic lines are tangeling around while having the lines plugged in. You can stick the caps together to keep them clean an not tangeling.
Greetings from Germany!
I remember having to make a set with grandpa back when I was younger
Those “no chains down in a dark canyon” stories are the ones we tell for a lifetime. Haha. Loved that story! Had a similar one goofing around one afternoon and ended up in a ditch that at least two other people had also found. By the time we found it the depth was about mirror deep. Took 3 come alongs, hours and several loggers to get our pickup out of the mud pit. My dad always said “4wd just gets you twice as stuck”. Hah.
lot's of idiots out there with 4 wd that have no idea how to drive them. I especially love the guys that get stuck and then put their rig in 4 wheel low. Yeah, let's see how much we can spin our tires.
Great video. Where do you buy that binder tool and tensioner?
What an awesome, and VERY informative channel. Thank you for that sir, we definitely appreciate you, and your content is very fun, and interesting as well. Keep it up, my man! 10/10 as always. #Wranglestar
Have you looked into some of the alternatives to heavy metal chains?
I was a trucker and generally avoided having to have to put chains on. Sometimes it was unavoidable, but it was rare as state DOT organizations pretty much started to shut down interstates and you don't use chains on the flats. only mountains.
Tires look dope asf with the chains on
Same tip applies to dropping nails or screws in the driveway.
Drive brand new tires across ONCE...
Can you use ammo cans to help organize and store the tire chains or would it he easier to have them hanging on the wall somewhere?
