Sparky-(Admin) 21,315 #1 Posted October 14, 2023 I always have a couple rigs set up for winter snow clearing. My tractor isn’t ready yet but the one I leave at the in-laws so I can clear snow at their place is now ready to ship out. 308-8 with inside and outside weights plus 4 link chains (prefer 2 link but it’s what I have on the shelf so…) The plow is a 42” so I don’t over stress the little Magnum 8 power plant . 5 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The main reason: I don’t have anymore front weights … but I find with the smaller front blade this tractor doesn’t lose front steering as easily as my other one with a 48” blade 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leabassett@sbcglobal.net 149 #10 Posted October 14, 2023 I just got my 312-8 almost same set up. I have a 48" plow with chains and plastic rear weights. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
