with your experience bob i have a few questions id like to run by ya.
i got a second set of wheels with mud/snow tires and im wondering if they are going to be better or not? the reason i ask is in theory the wheels running behind the blade should be pretty much snow free and with the deep tred much less rubber is in contact with the AC pavement with them.
secondly, im wondering if with the weight of the blade up front will cause lightening of the rear end to the point traction is diminished significantly? I did move the preload on the front shocks to the stiffest setting, but wondering if weighting the rear end is advised. my pops uses his quad for disking weeds in his sandy Monterey county soil and has a old milk crate he fills with old corvette break rotors reporting it helps with traction a ton. he tows the disk and its not even on the front unloading the rear end. he's got a ton of old, used up rotors cause corvettes are hard on brakes at the track.
