Thats the drawback with a rear blade, on these. My old 850 has loaded tires and a heavy cast iron counterweight on the 3 pt hitch, conveniently resting on a steel bar spanning an old backhoe mount, so the hydraulic lever is set all the way down and does not have to support the weight.
These are literally "worthless" in the snow with no ballast, double ring chains or more aggressive will help, but having neither, and just the backblade, not enough weight.
I can get through deep snow without chains, never been able to find 13.6x28 chains used, only time they would be very useful is on compacted, slippery snow or ice, and or when one wheel is lower than the other running perpendicular to a slope, even if it is slight, it loses traction.
A friends JD 2020, with I believe loaded tires, taller narrower ones on this tractor, and the JD backblade, no chains, will push and run through some deep snow, his dad had an N that was left behind or something when they got the place, that was one of the reasons for the 2020, and I can recall one storm we went up to open the path to the woodpile and that thing was running in 2 feet of snow without much trouble.
