Read articles →A cabin-owner's real-world account of grading an icy, rutted private road using a Kioti with front bucket, rear blade, and Trygg ice chains. The main takeaway is a firsthand before-and-after comparison of the chains' traction, specifically completing an uphill pass in two-wheel drive where four-wheel drive was previously required. Light on specs; most useful to owners considering ice chains for remote-property winter work.
Posted by the NB88 channel, which appears to be an owner-operator documenting seasonal chores and equipment use at a rural cabin property.
Yes, the owner says the chains gave amazing traction, letting him drive uphill on ice in two-wheel drive when he previously needed four-wheel drive for the same section.
Angle the front bucket with cutting edge in float to push down the road, and angle the rear blade to cut off and fill in the ruts, roughing up the smooth ice.
If ruts are left in the road, the snowblower rides up on them and does a terrible job, so the ruts must be smoothed out first.
