Unfortunatly we don't at this moment.... the company is about 11 or 12 years old.. I have been there 2 1/2 years... They are working on it... I keep telling them to hurry up and get it done as business would skyrocket.

I installed the studded Norse chains as well - they are great:\http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/power-trac/114256-installed-studded-tire-chains-pt.html

I tried and did manage to add and remove cross chains without these pliers and your right...better to have bought the pliers. I used a railway spike, a small sledge hammer and an old vise on my garage floor and it was a long sweaty, swearing battle.
As far as reversing the front tires/wheels-on our particular model of tractor many TBN's have done this without any adverse effects...at least not yet. I had to reverse wheels in order for chains to go on the front tires. I can't make do without the chains.

I wish I had those chain pliers also....I use a set of bolt cutters (gently) to open up the joint far enough to allow it to be pried open. Works for the occasion where you only have an odd link to deal with.
We had a cold crisp day up in the northeast. Perfect day for skidding with 4" of snow on the ground. I got to have ample seat time and really rung out my just installed tire chains. Somehow my original order got screwed up from Tirechains.com and instead of sending me vbar ladders, I received standard twist link. As I was anxious to start getting wood in once again, I just kept them and laced them up back and front. Fronts were 2 link at least. I wasn't expecting that much but was pleasntly surprised at the amount of traction gained. It was actually better than uncovered land with no snow and running unchained R1's. Skidding is now a joy and was taking out bigger stuff than normal such as a dead 40' oak stem at 18" at the base. (that snow on the ground acts like WD40 for log skidding) I wish I was tech savvy and knew how to place pictures from my digital up here for people to see. This would give anyone else with tire chain questions some info on what even the simplest chains are capable of. I can only imagine how effective those studded ice chains would be in this situation or even the vbars for that matter. For 200 bucks , I can live with what I got however. Thanks to all who contributed.

Thanks Northland
Your cut is about the same size as my JD 750. I wish they sent me the vbars but yours must dig in like crazy. Ok, can you tell me how to get the pictures out of my camera and onto this site? I notice on my handheld it has what looks like a miniture usb socket. I'm thinking that must have something to do with transfering pictures directly from the camera only I can't say for sure. I'm really pathetic about this tech stuff. My computer only seems to have the standard usb ports so already I'm lost

Yes Lou-that miniture USB end goes into your camera and the other end of the cable goes into one of your USB ports on yor PC.
After your camera and PC are turned on the PC should find the new device (your camera) and a pop-up should ask you what you want to do. You should copy the files from your camera to a new folder on your desktop (nmain PC screen).
From there when in TBN (and creating a new thread or replying to one) you need to click on the paperclip in the tool bar which will prompt you to go to one of the jpg files in that new folder on your desktop.
Once you have done it once it will be easy-like most things.
good luck and do put up some pictures
