Your wide tires will give you flotation not as good of traction in soft conditions. In snowy weather chains on turf tires seem to do real good for most of the guys in here. I don't have any snow removing that I do so I can't help much there. The narrow tires will tend to cut down into whatever you are driving on and give deeper traction. Especially the Tractor treads. I prefer the wide tractor treads over turf tires just for pure traction. Also filling your tires with fluid will aid tremendously in traction as it puts the weight of the fluid right on the ground, not hanging off of the wheel or axle.
As for the blade, I am not a NF owner but your blade should fit the 122, or at least be easier to make to mount than putting it on a WF. Rear tires can be transferred from any NF to a WF and vice versa. I think there is some issues with the fronts being transferred, but I am not sure what the deal is. The fun that I have with these cubs is experimenting and learning what works and doesn't work. Keep us up to date on how things go.
