We may be expecting some snow this weekend so I was hoping to get them figured out before then and then I will pull out the chains that came with it. I put the plow blade on tonight as well.

How do you guys determine when to use the blower vs. plow blade? I know the older throwers are not good for wet snow but lets say 3 inches of dry snow. Plow or Throw?
I prefer the QA-42 snow thrower on my 125 versus the blade. I have two tractors ( both 125's ) and don't even bother putting the blade on the other one except when I have to move dirt.

Since the slots need to be deeper, could you use some 5/16 or 3/8 all thread to hold the weights in place since you have snow coming? That would distort easy enough to probably work.
