Have any of you seen snow chains for this loader? I'm sliding around on the snow and ice here in Norway now...

Best regards,

Have you tried contacting Tobias Braeker ? I know on his website it states that the chains only fit tires from 123mm-125mm but maybe he can make you a set for the 870K.

Those tire chains there, they are what the steel mills use on the front loader that empties that slag pits. There's just enough protection from the molten metal that the rubber tires can survive long enough to scoop up a bucket of stuff & get out.

Thanks again, buys. I agree on the mesh and I've also had a look at the crawler chains. Those look pretty good. But I fear even with those that it will be slippery. I'm contemplating to weave my own using ladder chain links and bending the ends another 90 degrees so that there will be a quite flat surface from the ladder chain against the rubber tire and then actual spikes (from the ends that stick out) that will grip on the ice.
