Tractors and wood! Show your pics

[Happy Gilmore]

I have a loop on the end of the clutch rope. I run my thumb thru the top of the loop then grab the rope with a closed fist. That way the rope doesn't slip thru my gloves or mitts. I have to pull on the rope pretty good on a hard winch. In the video I was just holding the rope up so you could see it. Probably the two finger grip was so my little pinkies wouldn't get cold holding a snowy rope bare handed. One thing about the type chains I have is that they come down on the sidewalls in good shape. That has to help keep them straight. <img src="http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/files/owning-operating/402166-tractors-wood-show-your-pics-tractor1-jpg"/> BTW I wasn't getting paid to test the snatch block. After they finished the prototype build they sold them at a reasonable price. I was just lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time to get one. gg

Gordon what type of tire chains are you using, price?

Gordon what type of tire chains are you using, price?

They were made by Tellefsdal in Norway. I bought them in 2005 for $365 from my Kubota dealer. I don't believe they are available in the US anymore. They are similar to Aquiline Talon studded chains.

For some reason when I try to upload a photo, I can't say "ok". I can select photos to upload, but can't go forward and upload them to the message.

I really am not positive what brand it is. It's been painted in the past. I am leaning towards Fransgard.

I'd say your leaning in the right direction, I got my Fransgard v3004 in 07, and I see some resemblance in yours.


If I take out those two bolts you see on each side, that's in the pic. plus that big center nut, that front bar comes off so I can change the cable easier, one of my add-ons.

My property is very steep so logging in the winter isn't always possible.
