I have a new to me Deere x730 (2wd, 1000 lbs), with a front 47 snowblower. I used it in about 5 inches if snow this weekend. It was ok on the flat, but my slight incline (3 ft rise over 15 ft) it was a mess.
I need three options (but are open to others):
1. Weight (I have no three point, and the Deere bracket is $172, plus $60 for every 42 pound weight)
2. Lower Tire Air Pressure (Free)
3. Rubber tire chains. I have pavers so metal chains wont work. $160, but i need to take them on and off for every storm.
4. fluid is tires wont work. I need to keep my ground pressure low for mowing.
Any consensus on which combo of these would work for me?
I like the four 42 lbs weights (168 lbs) and lower the tire pressure. Thoughts?
