I agree with Dave your chains are too tight, you should have them loose enough so as they pickup behind your tire one cross chain strikes the next. Those tires are the poorer type for chains, the old 45 degree tread works much better.
I've plowed a lot of snow in my day, with a lot of different machines. I still like the blade out front, and use a heavy box blade for a counter weight. Mankind was never meant to plow snow going backwards, if he was, he'd have been born with eyes on orther side of his head. Anyhow I started out using a Farmall H with a factory blade on a 31 loader.
