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 - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
