If you try to roll the snow to one side ,you'll need plenty of weight up front to keep the front wheels from sliding the oposite direction also weight and chains in back for traction.

Mike is correct, if you try to angle off the side it takes a lot to hold the front end in a straight line. I have chains with bitters on the front and back of my garden tractor, big difference. I would push from the back, hook it to the hitch or at the rear of the frame where it hooks to the axle housing. Might be better to just push straight. My granda made a crude push blade for his manuare loader, took the bucket off and made brackets to hold some big oak boards. Thats all he ever used to move snow.

I have a 7ft meyers on a wd-45. I have fluid in the rears and aggressive chains. No weight on front but it does slide a lot. Have to have something on the front. Make sure your mount is plenty sturdy. Mike

when pushing snow you can never have too much traction. Put the weight on

That's just what I plan on doing this summer for my WD..Please post pics so we can all see your setup. And yes..plenty of weight, especially if you plow a lot of deep snow. With a Meyers.... if you hook it up with the hydraulics like was on the Chevy it will be a sweet setup. Main push frame should go at least 2/3 way back under tractor.
I plan on a back blade on mine also..filled tires...and 200# of suitcase weights on front bolster bracket. I did this long ago with another WD and ribbed tires on front and it worked real well. I might add we usually got 150 to over 200 inches of snow so....figger from that.

I have a 53 Wd with loaded rears and a #9 loader that weighs probably 400 ILBS more than it shoud.Been welded on for 50 years it is tough to look at but strong.Have a Bronco II plow and harness on the loader sticks out 4 feet,like new 3 rib tires out front.When we have 2 foot of fresh snow I can move it in 3rd gear with the blade on a full angle no problem.If I get lasey and let it freeze I am done.Have to get the Neighbor and cut one path with his Kabota then We can move it.The front tires will still slide if you take it too fast then its stuck.:Brian
