Hello Jerrami, I have about the same setup as you and I lowered the sunshade on mine and also added plexiglas to the ROPS which reduced the amount of snow blowing in from behind. I noticed you added weights to the blower good idea.

Yes the weights help in the hard packed drifts. I found the blower too light at certain times, so added 140lbs of weight. Sure makes it hug the ground better. And lifting weights are cheap and easily addaptable to other implements. See the ones on the front of tractor  | |

All these cool pix make me feel bad I've already got a big Husky walk behind blower.  When the new BX arrives, I figure I'll just use the loader bucket some when needed.
Got to say that I am more than a little surprised that I don't see many tire chains in these photos. I thought I'd need them, but maybe with 4wd they're not so necessary? | |

My wife has more hours on the tractor moving snow than I do.
Good thing as she does not know what I look at on my road trips while she is busy clearing the driveways..
Honestly I do feel guilty sometimes....

I did notice a preponderance of R-1s in all the photos above. Lots of locust trees and thorny bushes here, though, I'm afraid of punctures. What to do, what to do??

You can see from the pictures I submitted that I am in some hilly country. With the tires loaded, I've not had to use chains at all.
