Plowing snow with a 1969 Cub Cadet 104 with a 7ft wide blade. I cut another blade in half and added them to the ends of the center blade doubling the 42 inch to an 84 inch blade. The extensions are removable with 4 bolts on each side. This cub had snow chains, a 200 lb concrete weight on the rear, 60 lb wheel weights, and 50 lbs of washer fluid in each tire, totaling 420 lbs of added weight for traction.
