I have an IH 574 that I�m having traction problems with. I plow and disc a couple acres with it each year on a rolling side hill. I have a 2-14� plow that I have no trouble with on level ground but up any grade is a problem. I also have an 8� model 37 disc that is the same story only worse. The tractor seems to have plenty of horsepower but wheel spin is a real problem on any uphill grade. It�s a rolling hill so you have to go uphill somewhere no matter what direction you go.
The tire treads are good and the tires are fluid filled along with one set of weights. I�m thinking of adding another set of weights. I think the tire pressure is about 20 psi. Would lowering it help much? I also have trouble in the winter with the snowblower in reverse even with chains on. How many sets of weights can I put on? I also have a full set of suitcase weights on the front, which help steering a lot. Any other thoughts?
Thanks
Tim

That is well within a
