That tractor will handle that plow with no problem! I had a 7 1/2 foot Western plow mounted on a 8N Ford driven by a pump from the front on the engine and had it's own hydraulic tank, so I could angle the blade and raise it all it the same time. That worked like a charm. I thought to that it would be to much for that tractor but with tire chains and weight on the 3-pt, I could actually drive down into a 3 to 1 slope ditch and back out with no problem. For weights, I filled two big truck brake drums with concrete with a 3" pvc pipe in the center on the drums, so them I could just slip the 3-pt drawbar through the drums and picked them up with the 3-pt. When you looked from the front of the tractor, all you could see was the snowplow, but it worked excellent. I now have a Toro Groundmaster 345 with a cab and a 48" snow-blower.
