Rod - now that you mention it, the tires on my TO-20 are filled w/fluid.
I would think that would help a front blade, but don't know for sure.

HI Everyone,
I found the gentleman's comments about the front snow blade interesting.
I 
have purchased one for the TO30 with this in mind.  I wonder if added
ballast at 
the back wouldn't offset the weight of the blade or make no difference
when 
you picked it up, still heavy steering.  Comments?
Anyone with an original M-F snow plow brouchure, I can buy some photo
copies 
of? I want to see how this gizmo is suppoped to be mounted.
While thinking about traction aids, I often borrow a MF40 yellow tractor
( 
industrial, not ag)  It has a 5 ft bucket on the front and a concrete
filled 
barrel on the hitch in back. It is the most helpless thing when traction
gets 
poor. What I don't know is if the tires are filled or not.  I can see
why it is 
seldom used by the owner.  If ever there was a tractor that needed front
wheel 
drive, this is it.
