bagger for ballast?

[stevess]

can a 3 bucket bagger offer enough weight on the back of a riding lawnmower with snowblower? i was thinking of adding a few bags of sand. anyone use this type of setup for snow removal? my ride is an older 13hp ariens with a 36" sno.
thanks

I would not use the bagger simply
because the bagger will not handle
the weight and it will tear and
become useless.


You will be further ahead having
the tires loaded with windshield
washer fluid to aid in your snow
removal as you will have much
more traction with some wind
shield washer fluid in the rears.

I am thinking of using my bagger also. It has three plastic bins. I estimate that each bin will hold 50+ lbs without damaging anything on the bin or tractor mounting bracket. I also bought wheel weights and have chains. Will probably put fluid in the tires also as I need more traction when in reverse. By the way I also weigh 220 lbs. Maybe you should eat more????:laughing:
