The War Wagon Chronicles

[Kodiak Kid]

No, I take them off for summer. I only put them on one machine up north. We don’t get enough snow at home to need tracks. I just run chains down here.

I figured you took them off but I do not know anything about them. As for chains they are a necessity here. I need to get mine on the Mule in a few days instead of waiting til I need them like normal

I vote "Yes" on chains!

I got a funny story on them. I will try to post in a few minutes

Last winter my brother called me up and asked if I wanted to go cut some logs. He said he had the skidder warming up. I said OK and told him to head on over. Well a bit later he rolls in and I start laughing at him. Now this is cold frozen weather. I laughed and asked him if he was missing something. He says what do you mean. I said well you aint no damm iron on her. He replied we will be fine. I laughed and said OK lets go. Now this is just Illinois but I am on the top of the Mississippi bluff. It is pretty steep. We headed down the timber over the bluff. He slipped and skidded a bit going down the road. We got to a flat spot and picked out some dead Ash. I put the first on on the ground and my nephew slides the skidder off in a ditch trying to get . My brother jumps in and gets the grapple on it . This is a little tree (maybe 30 inches)but he cannot move it. She just spins on the frozen ground. I finally convince him to just drop it. He says well I will run up the hill a ways and cable it up. Of course the skidder would not even drive itself back up the hill. We end up setting a winchline and it winched it self. Then turned around and winched the tree up. We eventually got the tree to the top about 2 hours later. When we got it to the top he looks at me and says......"I don't think we better try to get anymore" I laugh and say well no **** go put the iron on.

About 2-3 weeks later that skidder ended upside down in a ravine with 4 wheels in the air. He hung the iron after that

That is what folks do not get. They hear Arizona or New Mexico and think warm desert. I remember a guy in Flagstaff sending me some pics of being snowed in. He said the great thing was drive down a bit...no snow....
