This weight setup seem to work ok.
The tires are loaded with solvent as well as chains
(not installed in the pix)
The front end does get a little light if I stand on the hitch, as it comes up in the air so I allow for that when turning quickly.

Holy moly! Are those axle tubes cast or aluminum? I bet you could pop some wheelies with the thrower off.

The axle tubes are alum. & I don't abuse it.
Wheelies are easily accomplished with the 42A attached, my #200 body weight produces a wheelie if I stand on the hitch,--- aww but ya got to love the traction!
---Was just a idea I had to use the old 8N weights laying around the farm.
It worked well last year on my pond clearing snow for the Gr kids skating.
Not had to use it this year YET

I cleared snow for the first time with my 125 over the weekend. I ran it with a set of IH wheel weights, 190 lbs of me, and chains and had pretty good traction pushing the 42" blade. I also ran the QA36, with no traction problems either. The snow was nice. light powder, and I tried to keep up with it through the night. I only ran the QA36 for about 10 minutes because with the 30-40 mph wind gusts, there was already enough snow in the air and my face. I have to clear a path across the lawn to my wood stacks through 2' or more drifts on my next day off. I will use the QA36 for that and should get to find out if I need more weight or not.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
