Chains for atv or compact tractors might fit. What's the tyre dimension on your tractor?

I looked into some chains for the Logbullet, quoted £400 per pair plus vat [emoji15][emoji385][emoji1361] 
Absolutely crackers money.

ATV TYRE CHAIN DIAMOND SIZE C

Could be worth a look?

Not sure if they would also fit some of the smaller alpines.

Just had a quick scan mate, almost but not quite. I need 26x12x12 and none that size on there. But I’ll maybe drop them an email and ask, cheers for the tip.

Igland dealers might be able to help you. Igland is owned by one of the largest snowchain manufacturer in Norway, Nøsted - Trygg. Another alternative is Lilleseth snowchains, but I don't know if they have dealers in the UK.

The U-grip chains they offer are some of the best you can get.

I had issues pulling timber trailer up a slope with my AGT. In the end, I moved the axle on the trailer backwards to put more weight on the rear axle of the tractor. This made a huge difference especially when moving longer lengths of timber.

That's an issue with the trailer design, not the tractor! You wouldn't be complaining when that lack of weight on the wheels meant that it skipped across the bog without falling through 😉

 

Realistically, alpines are not the best tractors for timber extraction.
