*Have you bought and installed tire chains on the front of the 782?
I've got the L3400 Jon, with loader and loaded rears, and a scale right next door, but never thought of weighing it. Will have to for shits and grins this spring to see...
Moved snow with that tractor, many of times. NEVER needed front chains. If/when the front tires lose traction, raise the bucket a little. Right?
PO, why not use the Bota for your snow removal?

Todd, I was going by the listed weight of the tractor. I'm familiar with the L3400.... I thought 3K sounded high, do I looked it up. With a loader, I'm sure it is 3K.

Yeah.... I too was wondering if the OP still had that tractor, why it wasn't getting used for snow removal. Believe me, Id use something bigger if I had it. But the Cubs are pretty handy for pushing snow in small areas.

As soon as we get enough snow to use my 125 with the QA-42. I will let you know if tri ribs up front work better than factory "skinnies".
Did a little after storm clean up today and tri ribs do work better that regular skinnies.

What do you mean it won't work? It's a driveway right? Tractor is no wider or larger than a car.... why wouldn't it work?

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.
