Rusty: Right on, I plowed snow for years with my Farmall 130, one set of wheel weights and wheel chains. Two years ago I put the wheel weights on another tractor and I notice very little difference. The first snow this winter I didn't have the chains on. I wasn't long heading for my shed and the chains. I quite often get into drifts 2 to 3 feet deep.

I did break a final drive during that hauling. Bear in mind the 130 had chloride plus wheel weights in those days.
