I don't have a Cub. I do my plowing with a considerably larger Farmall SM. However...my next door neighbor has a Cub with a front blade, and we've opened up a lot of territory working them together. On any tractor with a front blade, some "skid plates" on the bottom toward the ends will allow the blade to float along without digging into imperfections in the surface. This will also reduce the amount of weight being CARRIED on the front wheels, thus increasing the percentage of weight on the rear wheels. That helps a LOT!
On my neighbor's Cub, we mount a wheelweight from my M on his drawbar. Lay it down flat, extend it to the rear by supporting it on the hitch extension, and bolt it in place. The 160 lbs or so of weight added in back of the rear wheels makes a BIG difference. You could get the same result with some sort of a box mounted on the rear of the tractor and filled with weight. Sand might be a nice material to use, as you could always shovel some of it under the wheels if you do get stuck!
Add weight, and have fun!
