Back when we still had cattle I made a 1300 pound cement weight for the 3PT hitch on the loader tractor and it did a lot of good. It's just a two foot cube of cement. I called it my "poor man's front assist". On firm soil the tractor has more traction than power, in mud it won't get stuck unless it bellys out, and on snow and ice it's surprisingly pretty helpful. This is on a 630 JD with narrow tires so it puts a lot of weight per square inch on the ground. I do have chains but I rarely use them. If you have wide rear tires, then adding weight won't do much good for you on ice and the bumpy chains are the best bet. Jim
