I have a L3400. Similar machine. The thing is almost unstoppable in snow with R1 tires. I would think traction wouldnt be an issue unless there is an ice pack underneath
I got to use my fabrication on a 22" and 10" snow storm. On the 10", it cut my my time in half over just the plain bucket. The 22" storm took 2 hrs to clear instead of a normal over 3 hrs. Most lanes were cleared with 2 swipes as opposed to 4 or 5 with the plain bucket.
Might have been even better if snow did not "tumble over" the bucket. Have to figure out how to attach an easy on/off 8" plate at the top of the bucket to mitigate this.
