Well Wranglerstar makes interesting videos. He way of putting chains on was funny to me. His block of wood to hold the tractor up was OK but he still had to lift the chains over the tire. His way only works IF you can lift the tire chains. Try it on a pair of larger tractor chains that you can not lift. An example would be 20,.8 x 42 double bar chains. Each one weights over 300 lbs. One man can not lift these larger chains.
Wranglerstar is successful at making a living shooting videos of rural/country life. His core group is other urbanites. He gives them hope/fantasy that they could leave the hustle and bustle of city life for a simpler one in the country. He is by no means an "expert" at much of what he does. He is a skilled handyman type of person. Meaning many skills but not a true master of most. It is worrisome that he sometimes imparts false information as fact. All in all thought he does a pretty good job entertaining you while passing along knowledge.
A much simpler way is to lay the chains out flat. Then drive the tractor over them until the end is directly under the center of the tire. Take a heavy piece of wire and run it across the rim and tie use it to hold the tire chains ends. Then slowly back up the tractor. The tire chain will wrap itself on the tire as you back up. Stop when you have drove one full revolution. Your chains will be easy to hook up now. Pull ahead one full revolution and take up the slack. Your DONE. To tie the end off I use a spring loaded chain hasp/clip. They are stronger than any tie strap you can buy and you can use it over and over. ( Picture of one.)

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
