  • Cheap homesteading made some upgrades to his tire chains. The chains didn’t have good grip so he bought 50 feet of chain and he’s going to make a homemade/ DIY H Chain traction upgrade.

    Nice work, maybe try filling the rear tires 75% with RV antifreeze?

    Great job Pete. Lots of chain makes all the difference. Adding more weight to the back might help a little as well. Stay safe.

      I’m planning to get the blower on this weekend to blow back to the Sugar Shack. That should add a little more weight. I fixed up some old chain sections off a very old set of tire chains. I’m going to add them so it should really really go good in the snow good after that. Have a great weekend

    Great video - thanks! That’s a great tip on avoiding the added cost of links by cutting, bending and welding. Plow on!

    Couldnt help but notice on your chains already on the tractor, one side was on wrong. The open end of the hook is against the tire sidewall instead of pointing out.
    I hated to see you clamp on the new H chains, because I’m sure you noticed it later and had twice the work to correct it.
    Ive done chains by hand the way you did, so I appreciate the effort that goes into it.
    Great idea though!

      First thing I noticed also.
      I like the modification/upgrade. I have seen this on other tractor tires also, the cross links dropping below the tire lugs.
      There is a Tire Chain set of 3ft pliers to remove and replace the Cross links if one breaks. I doubt they will break on this tractor compared to a 18 wheeler. I have done a few.
      I like your DIY ways of doing this upgrade

    That looks like they really can dig in the snow 👍

    AWESOME!!!!!! 👍 GOOD JOB!!!! 👍👍 If you don't mind, can you make a video of your modified chains? Also if it's not too much to ask if you could send me the specs on those chains, please. I also having trouble with my tractor in the snow. Thanks again.

    good video. another tip, cut a link in half, and weld it to the links that lay flat so it makes some studs

  • @noelstractors-firewood57

    If you added two more of those, to each tire, it would work even better. Even one more per tire. A little to much gap between them. Great information, thanks.
    And wondering the model and number of the tractor.
    I guessing a Massey Harris 50 ?

    Great job on the H chain. i had the same issue with the chains on my Massey. I found a good set of bungee cords helped. I have spun in dirt on tree roots and haven't had them fall back between the treads. My tractor is considerably lighter than yours though.

  • @mymorristribe

    Have your chains, specifically the welds, held up over time? I'm looking to do this, and curious if you have any lessons learned now that's been a couple of years.

      No, I just looked at different options and I kind of just went with that one. Thanks for watching.
