I was wondering if filling your tires with liquid and wheel weights would be enough?

I have 200 pound concrete weight on the back, a 60 pound concrete weights on each of the wheels, and the tires have about 50 pounds of washer fluid in them. So, 420 pounds of added weight. Now, I just need more horsepower.

One of my 123's has loaded 6-12's with chains and that's all, I weigh in about 150, my Brother a little more and my Daughter quite a bit less (I know "what's good for me" so my wife is off limits in this particular thread) it pushes snow great no matter who's operating it.

I'm sure however, that we don't get the kind of snow here that you guys get there, so you may need a little more weight.

I find that narrow front tires make a huge difference, not so much with forward traction but along the lines of maneuverability.

I do have others with blades and different sized tires and chains, but I really prefer narrow turfs and chains to anything else. Going to try my 149 with loaded ag's and one pair of IH weights this year but I'm betting it will spend most of the winter setting, until I put a pair of loaded turfs and chains on it.

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.
