Rusty: Right on, I plowed snow for years with my Farmall 130, one set of wheel weights and wheel chains. Two years ago I put the wheel weights on another tractor and I notice very little difference. The first snow this winter I didn't have the chains on. I wasn't long heading for my shed and the chains. I quite often get into drifts 2 to 3 feet deep.
When I first started plowing with the 130 I had a set of Canadian ring chains with 5 corks per ring. Truly unbelievable what that little tractor would push, I rebuilt my blade 3 times to withstand what the 130 could dish out. I sold the ring chains for a couple of reasons, I didn't like what they were doing to a new concrete floor and secondly I was afraid the final drives wouldn't take it. I had broke a final drive 40 years ago. I moved 158 cords of 4' wood from farm woodlot on bobsleds behind 130 in only 113 loads, an using the ring chains. I did break a final drive during that hauling. Bear in mind the 130 had chloride plus wheel weights in those days.

This last spring (1999) I hauled the tractor to our 2 acre lot in St. Libory Nebraska where it joined my antique machinery collection, at that time a 1929 Caterpillar T
