It doesn't matter how much weight you put on. The only thing that will get you moving on ice is chains or cleats of some sort to dig into the surface. I had a 606 with loaded tires (heavy tractor, very heavy tires) and it was useless on ice. I now have a Ford with loaded tires and at least a half a ton of counterweight on the rear. It still spins on ice because the rubber tires can't dig in to get traction. If there's just a small spot with ice, I get a good start and let the momentum carry me through. If the driveway is all ice, I fall back on the garden tractor with the snow blower and tire chains. When working the tractor with chains, just drive slow and maybe put a good soft cushion on the seat.
