Yeah......it looks like we're between two storms today......might be able to get in a couple hrs outside but don't think it would be to any great advantage......need to set wall staging all the way around the tractor shed....be better to wait and do it on a decent day....no sense getting the planks soaked and then frozen before we get to use them.....only take an hour or so to set them.....my metal wall brackets are all ready bolted on......just throw the planks up and cleat them together.

Page 3 the Scandinavians can at least make a good chain but only from Norway studded icechain bump .

Do we know anyone from Norway ??? Lol

Yes, you do - but I have never used such chains on anything but military vehicles, some decades ago.

That was a pain, but hopefully the chain designs are better now - as they still are used on assorted heavy vehicles, when needed.

Thanks for stopping in and for leaving a post in our little thread Nikko, hope you are well.
This type of chain is what we use most often on this side of the pond, good for both ice and in the wet slippery woods work,

 

[pioneerguy600]

The ring chain type works good on big heavy equipment like skidders and forwarders but they make a rough bumpy ride on lighter tractors,

 

[SawTroll]

There are of course different chains for different applications and conditions - but they always will be a pain for more than short term emergency use on roads. Studded tires are a must here in winter.

Most of the "small talk" likely is going into the good morning thread in the off topic?

Actually, a lot of saw talk also is going on there these days, some times more than in the chainsaw forum (likely not, but it some times feels that way).

U Gawdamn slackahaz....LOL

Niko....chains are not really an issue if you are used to how they work and what they need......they frequently confound folks that only use them occasionally.......but if youy run them all the time methods appear and you get so they stay on in all terrain. My last set I wore completely out.....they were on the same 4wd tractor for 22 years...year around.....never took them off.....but they were regular cross link chains not ice chains like Dan posted.

BTW Danny........those look like real nice chains!!!!

Hey Nikko ! Was just checking to see if you were paying attention lol
Geez , I've got way more gear made in Norway than made in Sweden .
Hey Robin , you'd like the guys I deal with .
I saw an ad for a set of chains that were used once from another dealer close to them , I called my sales guy up told him I hated to spend money somewhere else , he pondered for a second then said "I know you're not adverse to using folding paper to save a buck or two" he bested their price by 200$ ,,,, folding paper traded hands

Sweet........folding paper does work wonders!!!! A tightly rolled handfull of Franklins Always gets more attention than hauling out the old checkbook from the sporran!!!!

Nice looking chains too BTW.....those going on the Yanmar??

I wasn't really, just popped in to see what was going on and stumbled over those Norwegian chains.

Another wet n dreary day, just happy to be working inside on days like this. Our framing crew will be missing time and the schedule takes a kick in the pants from now on.
