Not NEARLY as bad with the 42" blade.
Plus, when lifting the 54" blade with it angled, the corners of the blade barely are off of the ground. The 42" allows more ground clearance, with the blade raised and angled VS the 54".

AG tires are not designed to have good traction on slippery surfaces. I have tried to explain this before. It dose not matter if they are on rite or back wards. It is the tread design. Look at a good winter tire, not an all season or all terrain. They will have many grooves and sips. That is where the traction comes from. Plus most Ag tires are made from a hard compound, and that is not good for traction on slippery surfaces at all.
Have you ever tried to drive a tractor with Ag's tires on the back on a slippery driveway or road ? No amount of weight is enough they still slide. Now put that same tractor and Ag's in deep snow and they it will go almost anywhere. But once the surface gets smooth and slick it is all over.
