Wanted: Wheel Weights, aggressive chains

[wgray]

Hello, this is my first time posting on this forum.
I recently bought a 2182 to use with a blower for snow removal. I am looking for wheel weights that fit. Additionally, I am looking for any sort of aggressive tire chains for my 26.12.12 rear wheels to replace the small ladder chains I have. I am located in Brighton Utah.

The weight is the main issue. I have 20 plus years with 2182’s and the 451 snowblower. the ladder chains are fine but you will need the chains on every other link ( 2-link) not every fourth link(4-link). I didn’t have any better results with diamond chains either. It was the weight that solved the traction issue. - i have a full steel cab, foam filled ag tires( free to me but I think the turf tires are better for chains) but I would use rim guard tire ballast or beet juice, antifreeze etc. rimguard tire ballast should make each wheel about 130 pounds. I also have the 12 inch cub cadet cement weights. I think they are 75 pound a piece or maybe 50. I have the 2link chains and I have not had any traction issues in the snow. We get wet snow. Once or twice a year it comes in with 2 feet. I blow about 150 yard long drive for me and my neighbor both are gravel. I clear my retired neighbor across the street blacktop drive maybe 50 yards and my father’s paved drive that is about 200 yards long. Have not been stuck once since I added the weight. Steering is an issue when the blower is on the ground. I leave a few inches in gravel so it’s not an issue but turning is easier on paved drives with the blower lifted ( power steering to the rescue) the weighs are easy to find here or on the net as well as chains.

I have a set of chains that came on a 2084 I just bought. I’m asking $50 for them. They are on FB marketplace. In Warren.
