Glad everything worked out. Rather impressive that 19 years of tire wear really made that much difference in properly fitting the tire chains. I guess a new set of tractors tires is on the 2024 Christmas list now. LOL
LOL! Morning B - you know Guy - he'll get every mm out of those tires before he buys the new ones. :)) Cheers!
Now I will tell you a story, but most won't believe it. Years back I was helping an old guy with some of his farm work in the dead of winter. His Tractor was old I have no idea what kind it was it was long ago. The road we had to use had maybe about 2 inches of ice on it and he wanted to bring his split wood closer to the house. Now he had a 4x4 truck but that was not making it on this long icy road. He told me to go get the Tractor. I did and it was like driving on a dry dirt road without spinning. This old man made Cleets to fit all 4 tires. This looked like flat bars instead of the chains and each bar had thick spikes. I never seen anything like it in my life not then and to this day never seen it ever again. Now it wasn't a smooth ride, But I promise you it never had a problem on ice or mud.
I told my dad about it, and he said son the old guys know what they want and need, they don't buy it if they can make it. I worked for this old guy doing odd jobs I was just 12 and 14 years old. Not one time did this old man have a problem starting that tractor. I was so impressed by this old man I had the up most respect for him. I asked how he has never had a problem starting his Tractor up in the coldest of mornings. He said Son if you take care of the things you own, they will take care of you.
Then he walks me into his barn and showed me an old model A Ford that had skis on the front of the tires. I never saw that before in my life as well. He said back in the day that was how they would drive around in the winter. My family moved and I never got to talk to him again but remember a lot he taught me.
Great information on tire chains Gord! Perfect timing as I looking at getting some chains for my tractor.
Cheers Tony!
Happy New Year to everyone!!! Be safe and stay warm my old friend. Later
Happy New Year Mech!
Have a safe and new year to all of you
Hoping you have a better 2024 than 2023. Peace love and happiness to the Potter family from all of us! Cheers!
Thanks very much Michael. Wish you and your family all the best!
Merry Christmas to you and your family and all the best in 2024.
Hello and good informative video. I also use Quick Links on my chains but they come loose. Please use Lock Tite (Blue or Red) on the Quick Link threads. Inspect them every time you use the Chains. Just takes 1 minute and might prevent a chain getting wrapped around an axle.
Hey thanks Matt - great advice - I will pass it along to Guy!
✌️😜A Blessed New Year to you Brother 🇨🇦 God Bless us All 🇺🇸🙏✝️
Good job G.P. That’s a great solution and so simple. I can understand why folks don’t want to buy tractor tires they’re expensive. I like running all my tires till you can see the air. Happy new year and wishing you well
LOL! Happy New Year Ronald!
As they say, chains is inevitable. 😄
Happy new year, Gord & family.
HNY Ed! You bet!
Happy New Year, GP. I hope you and your family have a peaceful new year. Good time of the year to rest. All is well here.
Thanks JH! A Happy New Year to you and your family too. :)
Hi GP and I just want to Thanks for the Great Advise and keeping us Tractor Operators Safe for another year...Happy New Years...God Bless...Chief...{NYS/ADK}
Gord and Family, it sure is very Thoughtful of you Folks in Canada to help each other out. That is the Way I was Brought up and still take care of my Neighbors today. A very HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MY FRIEND. STAY SAFE AND WARM SIR, TILL NEXT TIME, RON FROM THE WOODYARD IN DUANESBURG NY.
Thanks Ron! All the best to you too. Cheers!
Greetings Gord, Lee here, hoping you and the family are keeping well. I have the ice chains on the rear of my tractor, I put an ice chain on one front tire for steering on ice. I was told not to put chains on both front tires because the front rear end is smaller in size than the rear and it will not take the stress and tourque if you get into a hard place and it gets to spin. This way it has a tire with the least amount of traction and it will spin with no stress. You and your family keep well, later
Happy New Year Lee! Good info - I was told the same thing from my dealer a while back and forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder - All the best!
Those are some great chains! Nice work GP!
Nice video as always Gord! Hope you and you family have a great new year and keep the content coming in the new year. Cheers mate
Happy New Years 690! All the best!
Great resolve on the chain.. Thanks for the tip. God Bless.
Hello Gord, great idea, Happy New Year 🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
I saw a video installing chains like this, but I can't find that video to comment. The video showed jacking up the tractor to put on the chains instead of driving over them. OMG, what a difference. It was so much easier to install the chains with the tire off the ground. You just roll the chains over the tire and connect. After all these years, I can learn and grow.... And not just more round.
Hadn't even considered the idea of chain fit and tire wear. Very interesting, and what a creative solution...don't know that I'd have come up with that idea, either! Good stuff.
All the best in the new year to you, your family, and your cadre of companions in the Great White (?) North!
Cheers and all the best Chris!
This channel successfully blended Kubota tractors and Mr Roger's neighborhood . I'm so getting one of them 2610's
LOL! Cheers Mike!
Happy new year to you and familys and to your neiber Guy to .
Best wishes back at you!
Here’s to 2024!
Hey everyone! Happy New Year! Hope everyone got what they wanted for Christmas! Sadly there was not an excavator under the tree for me... As always good information Gord! Have a Happy New Year and great things in 2024!
Thanks very much Bob! Happy New Year to you and yours!
Happy New Year GP ; )Yes Sir I think too that a set of chain for the front wheel will be very good too ; ) Be Well Sir Cheers ; )
Best Wishes for a Happy New Year for you and the Family GP. You all our good neighbors looking out for one another.. We need more of that. I'm Blessed in that regard.
Thanks Dean! All the best for you and yours too. Cheers!
Take care GP all the best 11:20
Good information, and a good solve to that issue. Happy new year.
I like Guy have never to date found myself in a spot that I needed chains. I also do not think I have ever worn down a set of tires that much. Also I usually run R1 tires so a deeper heavy lug tire. The area where I live (even when I lived in hills) was a row crop farming area. So AG tires were the most common in stock tires. Whole front tires for my tractor usually had to be ordered, rears were often in stock as they fit the front of many tractors used by farmers.
Happy New Year to you and your family Gord.
Happy new year to all of you! Cheers
I just made a quick video on these MPC chains as none were on the tube, got them for myself. I also got them from tirechainsrequired. Happy New Year to You and Fam Gord. Hope Guy enjoys his new chains, I know I am.
I have a very steep paved driveway (13 degrees (23% slope) at the worst) and a Kubota with a rear snow blower and chains on all four wheels. Even with chains, heavy wet snow over about 6-8 inches makes it hard to snow blow up hill. As a backup I use a honda blower with tracks to break the trail.
Great to see you back after Christmas GP! Happy new Year to you and your family as well as to Guy and his family and to Bob and his family. Cheers as you like to say Bro.
Cheers Rob! All the best to you and yours!
Good video Gord nice set of chains and a lot safer you're friend Ralph has a very nice shop that awesome hope you guys had a great Christmas probably was a rough one hugs to you and the family Happy New Year

Hey Gord, thanks for all the helpful information that you provide to your viewers, you definitely try to get all the information on the product you are telling us about and then give the contact info just in case we need to find out something else.Thank you. Happy New Year to you Carol and the girls, I wish you all the best in the new year.
Thanks Wayne! Have a great New Year too!
Happy New Year !!!!!
Happy New Years, love your content, can’t wait to see what 2024 brings.
Thanks very much Steve! Happy New Years!
Happy New Year, hope you had a great Christmas. We are just like you guys no snow in northern New Brunswick. Cheers
Gord I hope you had a good Christmas and have a Happy New Year. Thanks
Hope you had a good Christmas GP. Hope your New Years is a good one. Always fun watching you guys getting tasks done. Look8mg forward to next year’s adventures. No snow here just mud. Ready for some snow. Crazy mild weather👍🎄
Happy New Years Bob! No snow here either. Word has it we might get some next week. My snowblower is looking kind of lonely. :)) Cheers!
Very interesting vid.
Job well done.
Great job again!
Good morning Gord, good to see you and the gang working to help Guy out. Hope all continues to go well and you can get him fixed up with some front tire chains also. May you and Carol and the girls have a Happy and prosporous New Year and you and all the guys up there have the same around the woods and be safe. You all came up with a simple solution for a season or two. Fred.
Morning Fred! I hope you had a good New Years too. Be well and all the best for this year!
Happy New Year Gord and family and friends !! I bought a cheap set of chains for my Kioti 2210 but i need wheel spacers to get clearance at my 3 point hitch bars . Was hoping Santa would drop some off but I guess I will have to break down and purchase a set . All the best to you all for the coming year!
LOL! Hopefully he didn't drop any coal in your stocking. :)) Cheers and all the best for this year!
Great video Gord, Happy New Years wishes to you and your family.
And to you too! Cheers!
I bought those same chains for my tractor after having a similar experience, well worth the money! Happy New Year to you guys as well!!
Good story Gord , I was going to comment but you beet me to it , Guy definitely needs front chains .
Merry Christmas and happy New Year from Tweed On.
How's she goin'? You are making a good point in this video Gord. Chains are great, but they have to fit correctly to get the best service out of them. All the best to you GP, Guy, Neighbor Bob and all your friend around the lake and especially your wife and family as the New Year approaches. May it be filled with blessings and goodness for you all. . Take 'er easy!!
Thanks Grampie! And samesies to you and yours. Cheers!
Merry Christmas Gord and the Potter Family. Every piece of snow equipment I have on my acreage has chains on the wheels, As you know, Canadian winters can be unpredictable and sometimes the ice will show up when you least expect it. Great choice of chains on your tractor. Great job all of you for getting Guy's chains sorted out and getting them to fit. Cheers from Sask....Where I live there isn't any snow. Brown Christmas this year.
LOL! Here too - still. All the best to you for the new year!
Hi GP,
I hope You and Your family had a wonderful Christmas and New Years!
On a completely different note from this video, I happened to be watching another TH-cam video.
It was called "Mega powerful snowplows that have conquered the world"
At time stamp 24:15 was a discussion about compact tractors.
Guess who was featured?? There you were in your Kubota 2610.
I hope you were aware of this!
Looking forward to another year of your great videos.
Happy New Year Tom! LOL. No I was not aware at all. Usually I get a notification from TH-cam when someone takes my content. Thanks for the heads up - I will check it out. Cheers!
Good info Gord, Happy New Year,, stay safe and warm
Cheers Skeets!
Excellent video on the chains Gord, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's bud! Looks like you've got about the same amount of snow as us. Even sold the snowblower! 😮 cheers 🍻😊👍🌴
Cheers Mark!
Great video as always GP. We've gotten our first big snow in a few years down here in TN.... 6-7 inches and with the big artic blast with lows down to -4° to daytime highs only in the 20's° it has stayed on the ground now for a full 7 days... Never thought about owning chains for my L2900 but this was a very informative video for me if I ever do...👍
Hi GP hope your Christmas was wonderful. Great information about chain installation have use them for years never considered some of the points you showed. Wish you family and neighbours the best for the new year. Safe stay be well. George
Happy New Years George!
Thanks to Guy for bringing over the splitter to use, sorry it took so much work to get it back up the hill!
Another great video. I dont have enough snow around here to need them. Especially this year. And they can sure make a it on your budget. But quite interesting none the same as to the problem you guys ran into and the fix was fairly simple. I wish you a very Happy New Year Gord, wife and family and to Guy and Husky Bob and all the others. May we all enjoy and hope there is resolution to the worlds problems. Take care friends. God Bless.
All the best to you and your family Jerome - cheers!
Happy New Year Gord! I have the same chains on my 24 year old Kubota L3710 GST. I’ve had them for several years now and love them. I got this type of chain as I plow several asphalt driveways and they are low impact on them while still giving me good traction on ice and gravel driveways. Great video! Take care, Jim
Cheers Jim!
@@GPOutdoors @jimscheffler8174 I bought the Aquiline MPC chains hoping that they'd be gentler on my driveway but unfortunately they're marring up the asphalt. I'm using a NH Boomer 40hp with ballasted rears, so about 4300lbs all in, and I'm wondering if I need to buy a milder chain due to the weight.
Happy New Year to you and yours GP!!! Steering with the brakes can be very beneficial. I've never owned a 4wd tractor and use my brakes to steer quite a bit. 👍👍👍
Happy New Years!
Happy New Year!
Gordon nice video. It is very nice to see the friendship between you and your buddies. I don't know how this would work but try using your individual rear brakes a little to help steer. It shouldn't take much. It is worth a try anyway. Happy new year to you and your family and the guys my friend.
Morning James. Great idea - it works well for sure. Thanks!
Happy Nee Year
Happy New Year Carl!
Very interesting and informative video.
Good morning GP.
Well you got me on this one.
I don’t have any good stories about chains.. hahah
I only have turf tires on two of my tractors and my Big FarmAll has the Aggie tires on it but it weighs in at 8000 to 9000 lbs.. It usually has no problems except on pure ice..
But I rarely use it in the winter..
It’s the big boy of my tractors.. hahahaha
I want to wish you and Carol and family the happiest of New Year.. I know this Holiday season has been tough for you. ❤️
Please wish the boys also a Happy New Year for me too.
Cheers my friend.
Happy New year! ✌
Happy New Years 💐❤️
Happy New Years to you GP,
Be well
God Bless
Thanks Kevin- and to you!
Happy New Year, GP. Thanks for the video
Happy New Years Dude!
Front chains will be “night & day” difference. Those chains were probably cheaper than a new set of rear tires these days…, hahaha. Did the chain manufacture recommend those “quick links”..? The only reason i ask, is my experience with them is their weakness, they bend and stretch. I think the company has a similar type link that is made from the same chain material, and can be installed, and then hammered or pressed closed.
Great video,
Thank you sir.
Happy New Year Gord 🎉.
Happy New Year
Great Vedio GP, great solution, Happy New Year. Cheers
HNY Ray! All the best for this year!
I do something different with my tires. I don't use chains but I got almost 30 inches of snow on the ground and I cut my tires. They are r4 style but what a huge difference! If you want pictures, let me know I'll be glad to share!
Cheers GP. Happy holidays
Happy New Years Sam!
Happy New Year Gord! No snow here in Central New York as well, but lots of rain.
Were the quick links a long term solution? I would wonder how well they would take the spinning and chain slap (if there is any). Great video and yet another example of good friends.
Great questions - not sure how long Guy will go before getting new tires but we will see. Have a great New Year!
Thankz Gord for the tip. Did yall ziptie the flaping chain?
If those are the R4 industrial tires they don't have the best traction anyway, they may last longer and that tread is on everything it seems but they do the best on a hard surface. Does the hydrostatic transmission tractor have steering brakes? I've not used an all wheel drive compact tractor (or hydro) but have seen some use front chains only (because they're cheaper) and wondered how they stop because the tractors I've run only have rear brakes. Have a Happy New year.
How many hours does the 19 years roughly translate to, Gord, please? Just curious. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
My used
b2301 came with front wheel chains. I haven’t bothered to install them but do lose traction on a couple Of small hills on my lane. Worth installing them for the winter?
Thanks Gord.
I am undecided as to just Front Chains on mine for steering control when moving Snow. ??
The Rear Tires on My DK are pretty big/wide.
Morning Mike. Wish I could help. I have never used front chains. But I do find the front often won't grip in corners whole blowing snow so I have to lift the blower out of float to turn the corner (weight onto the front axle). Good luck out there!
I had front chains and rear chains for my DK. With the front and rear chains on, the tractor was an absolute beast. I'm convinced it was practically unstoppable. After the first two years, I stopped putting on the front chains. The rear chains provided enough traction on their own where I didn't need to bother with the front chains. And I never really experienced any problems steering with just the rear chains. Perhaps because my tires were newer and still had good tread, or the angles of my hills were different. If you're looking to purchase only one set of chains, I would definitely go with the rear tires. Having chains on your rears will help much more than chains on the front, in regard to traction. This is because the majority of the weight is on the rear tires and not the front. Additionally when you're pushing snow with a plow or the loader, the front end tends to "ride up" as you push more and more snow, taking weight off the front. This further reduces the benefit from having chains on the front. And lastly, putting on the front chains wasn't any easier than the rear. Since the tires were smaller, I figured putting the chains on the front would be easier. However applying front chains was probably more difficult than the rear because of the front is the steering axle. The tires kept turning with every little movement as I would try to adjust the chains or tighten them down. Frankly, that's the reason I don't use front chains anymore (and the fact that the rear chains are enough). All that is to say... if you're looking to get only a front set or a rear set of chains, I'd definitely go with the rear.
@@Ytiunegni How Far Are You from Central Wis ?? Would You want to sell Your Front Chains..
I've got plenty of Rear Traction. I have to Brake steer sometimes to get the Front to Steer.
@@m9ovich785 I'm in central PA, near Harrisburg. I didn't have any intention on selling my front chains, but I probably would just because I don't use them anymore. Don't know what the shipping cost to WI would be though.
R-4's are usless in snow even when they are new.
Its the end of December boss.
Great video Gord. I am thinking of ordering a set of these. Looking for a good all purpose set of chains and I also have R4 tires on my LX2610 cab model tractor. Besides the chains is there anything else I should be ordering with them?
There is nothing else you'll need to install them. Although come spring when the chains are removed, I like to hose them off with water to remove the dirt and then I spray mine down with Fluid Film. The Fluid Film helps to keep the chains from binding up and easy to maneuver. Might be worth picking up a can of that, or some kind of oil that you can apply to the chains. But in terms of applying the chains, you won't need anything else.
Morning Mike. You will need wheel spacers for sure, if you don;t already have them installed. All the best!
Doesn't Guy have split brakes on his tractor??? I would think that is all he needed to make the hill on the turn instead of additional front chains.
Have a Happy n New Year, Gord, Family and Friends!🎉
Morning Wayne - indeed he does, and indeed he did after a couple of failed attempts to turn. :)) U skipped through it a bit - didn't you ? LOL! have a great week! All the best Wayne!
@@GPOutdoorsGood Morning, Gord...You lost me with your response on skipping forward? I don't skip forward during your videos. I watched it again this morning to see what I missed? It was the text you put on the screen about him using the split brakes. I must have been momentarily distracted but remembered watching him struggle at first to make the corner while you talked of neighbors past troubles and him possibly needing front chains later. So in fact...he was able to make the corner with use of split brakes!😃 Have a good day and I will try to be more focused for the next video!👍
@@waynetharp Hey no worries - I was just teasing you a bit. LOL! Thanks Wayne! Have a wonderful week. :))
@GPOutdoors All good...Have a great day!👍
What is an axces or access? Did I hear you correctly? And what purpose does it provide? Is it a vertical log splitter?
Hey Peter. Yes it is the Eastonmade AXIS Wood Splitter. Sorry, I should have explained that. Have a nice New Years and thanks very much for watching my channel.:)
So what works best? The MPC or Talons?
Great question. We'll see. I have to say I love the big studs on the talons. Cheers!
Chains are expensive, maybe he shud put the money on a modern set of tires. Just saying!
Great story @daniellionheart!
