Agree with everything you said Roy, but scratch the rear ballast. His got a rear blower and a front loader. 
Looking for some opinions

Yeah, read his post.
Hope his blower is heavy enough!
Actually, since he has the rear blower, it probably wouldn't hurt to drop the loader bucket off...put more weight on the rear axle.
Of course, the disadvantage then is he wouldn't have the bucket to "walk" him out if he got stuck...

Yep, and every time you drop the rear blower you lose weight on the rear wheels. Loading the rear tires as suggested by Labratt would definitely help in this case.

Thank you all for the input.
I think going up to a tractor with a cab might be a pipedream right now unless I can find a good used one, which is hard to find. I will also have to get all new attachments as well as a 54" blower will not make sense for the 3320.
In a nutshell from what I am reading, to make my rig better at this task, it would appear I need Chains and Weight.
I am going to start looking for chains but I think I might acutally try grooving the R4's. I have been looking for turfs but used are hard to find and going the dealer route will result in $1200 +, so I think I will try to groove and add RimGuard. The blower is great for weight when it is in the air, but when it is on the ground is when I have a problem. I figure adding the RimGuard should help a bit.
Cheers,
