I can't imagine this loader ever getting stuck ... still on ice, it's a different story.
BTW you can't find these at AutoZone ! 😆 ... need a crane just to lift them
It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books

Probably cost more than the tire.
Looks like they should have gone with snow socks.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
The first car that I ever bought came with snow chains................
I wager those chains will weigh a few tons each
holy smoly,, 😮
Chains for snow or ice don't look anything like that, at least for a tractor. Ours had a chain ring with the chains making an X out of the ring. They dug through even hard packed snow or ice. Those are for tire protection.
I say for slippery surfaces.
Solid or foam filled tires don't pay much attention to sharp objects.
But they are steadily shredded by them

wow
I think putting the tire chains on the 8n ford in the winter are a pain LOL
I leave mine on year round
The truly amazing thing here is not the size of the tire nor the amazing tire chains. The real amazement is how clean that dude's white coveralls are!!! 😮😂😮
In Colorado...I have put chains on twice in 40+ years...

Bitching or bragging?
I was taught that a good mechanic never gets dirty past his wrists.😀
I bought a set for 4x4 pickup after last ice event, maybe I get to use them tomorrow??
your right no way any one would be that clean I say its staged photo ( yes I know capt obvious 😁 )
most likely a Tyvek throw away pair . even his hard hat looks brand new .
Both of the big JD tractors get chains when winter comes. Putting chains on isn't difficult or strenuous if you know how.
