Trina has a tough time steering on wet or leaf covered ground, not just snow. Her 867 is very light in comparison to my larger tractor and so is she in comparison to my larger me. Hers also has sawtooth tires which have very limited traction. She'll likely leave the front weights on year round. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ive gotten buried in soft mud either way but on the front the weights have helped when snowplowing. Rear weights get the power and traction to the ground. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know my Cinnamon Horse gets to be a handful after going in and out of the not smooth forest a lot in one day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like plow frame with an adapter for that small pallet? I like this idea but worry about the lifting lever being able to hold heavier loads. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 37,132 #62 Posted January 13, 2021 Just a small engine pallet friction fit, that I slid over the plow frame. Easily picked 300 lbs. but know that I wasn't testing it to failure. Just moving a few items from the garage out back to the shed. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use them when I mow grass in the summer as well. I mow a very steep side hill and the wheel weights tremendously with stability and traction. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
