I took the front weight bracket off our 706 and mounted it on an upside down T that attaches to a tractor's 3pt hitch for a counter weight when doing loader work. An extra 1,200lbs on the 3pt of our 826 made a big difference when pushing snow with the loader on ice and all it cost me to build besides my time was about $20 for a 2 5/16" ball that I welded in the top of the T for moving gooseneck trailers with a tractor. Something else I've noticed is that tires like Firestone's that have a flatter lug angle seem to grip better on ice than say a Goodyear style long bar/short bar tire, also it seems to me like radial tractor tires do better on ice as well and I assume that as the tire flexes it grips the ice better than a bias ply. We do have a set of good 18.4x38" tire chains that will fit several of our tractors but they are a pain to use so they only come out in an emergency.
