Your 300 utility is shorter than my Super H, so more weight will be needed by maybe 25%, but I carry 600#, four wheel weights plus hardware, plus I always have tire chains on that weigh 200# per chain, maybe more, I can only lift one end of the chain, and I tie one end to the tire & wheel and roll the tire to get the chain on the tractor, they could weigh more than that. I used to have calcium chloride fluid but removed that 10+ years ago, was about 250# per tire, 12.4x38's, and I miss that weight. I'd like to add one, maybe two 145# wheel weights per rear tire but NOT at the crazy prices they sell for now. In 2006 I bought three sets, 6 weights plus all the 3/4 hardware to mount them from my local CIH dealer for $185 total. I'd have bought at least 2-3 more sets at $60 a pair of weights but that was all he had. I'd think your 300U needs 800 to 1000# for proper Traction pushing snow, some of that should be tire chains, semi-tractor chains can easily be modified to fit the 28 inch rear tires on your 300U, that's what Dad modified for my Super H and his M. In the 28 years of clearing snow I've spun the rear tires enough to wear the centers of the cross chains about half way through. I priced replacement cross chains last year, they ain't cheap either!

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
