Snow plow weight?
 Needing some ideas/suggestions on adding weight to my snow plow/front end with the plow attached. I have tri-ribs on the front and while pushing snow with/with out ice underneath, while trying to correct/turn the steering the front end keeps going straight. Thank you for your time.

For just that reason I love my super with individual wheel brakes. Just a touch when turning starts the turn and keeps my rig on track. Only problem I have is it has been so cold here most of the winter my boots are almost too big to hit the inside (left) brake without also hitting the other one.

Try loading the front tires. It will probably be not enough but might help. Try to use a 25 lbs lifting plate on the sub frame up front. Might fit. I only have that problem with the 1811 when the snow is wet.

I have that problem from time to time. It tends to only happen in heavy snow. I just corrected my problem by plowing in straight lines only besides, whenever I turn while plowing I end up running over my snow piles.

When plowing with my O, I pull back on the lift handle just enough to transfer the plow weight to the front tires and it turns every time. A hydro lift wouldn't have the same "feel", but it would still work. For the number of times I am pushing while turning, this is good enough for me.

 Thank you everyone for your replies, some great ideas/suggestions. PaulS, I wish my 149 had turning brakes. Mmzullo, I do have some free weights, I will check and see how much room I have on the sub-frame. Charlie 105, the turfs would build up with snow and would act like racing slicks, that is the reason I when with tri-ribs.

Yeah , the turfs were miserable, but Ags on the front made all the difference for me.

This is my 149 it doesn't turn great but if I had a set of tri ribs it would work great. I was going to get a set of V61 tires for it. The front weights are 30# each the rears are 55# each the rears are filled with windshield washer fluid. And i put tire chains on it the snow.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
