You might sneak by OK if you're working on totally flat ground - the weight of that tractor should be enough to move most snowfalls. But if you have any slopes, get a dump of heavy wet snow, or end up with ice under the snow - you'll have problems. You'll spin out regardless of the weight. Even loaded tires won't help much. If you live in a state that gets real winters, I'd buy some chains - even the cheaper highway type make a big difference.

A little advice - be real careful pushing backwards with the blade turned away from you. It plows great, but it also catches any protruding rocks, the edge of the road, frozen high spots, etc. I've ruined 1 blade and dinged up another one pretty good. And my tractor is a little smaller than yours.

Good luck - if you don't buy chains up front, I bet you end up doing it soon.
