Well, since my cub has NO weight other than the driver, I'm going to say a whole heck of a lot better than mine!

I have a blacktop driveway about 500 feet long-there is some incline to it.
I have fluid in my 108 cadet tires, and a set of weights. I am afriad to put the chains on because I hear chains will ruin blactop

This is what I use on blacktop on my BX. It also has loaded tires and 220 lbs worth of wheel weights.

I now have another tractor for snow. 1250 with the small CC weights and tire chains. This combo works pretty well but not as well as the 1650 did. If you have plain asphalt, I don't see where tire chains will hurt a thing. If your driveway has been sealed, the spinning chains will leave white chain marks in the surface. No need to worry about frozen, hard packed snow or glare ice as your blade won't do much to it anyway.

guess when you think about it, fluid does put some weight where needed ("a pint's a pound") so I guess 2 gal per side would add 16 lbs on each side?
I did it for years but have to say it was a PITA to add (black and decker used to sell a hand crank pump that exactly fit a tire valve nipple that made it easier) and worse to remove. Removable weight on the rear and more on the front worked better with chains as long as I did small passes with a sharp angle on the plow.

I would prefer adding more weights rather than adding liquid. as far as chains go I've been looking at these.

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.
