Weight bracket on sx3100

[dslanec]

Does anyone have the front weight bracket on a sx3100 and if so do you like it? Can you use it and the loader at the same time? I am thinking about adding one for this winter to help with steering. I run a 60" Rear blower most of the time but also have a plow on the loader arms I use sometimes also. I do not want to put chains on the front. Last winter I cut/sipped the front tires and that did help some so I'm thinking if I add weight too that I'll be better off.

Cut/sipped? Is that loaded?

No it is cutting grooves in your tires for more traction. The theory is that these grooves pack with snow and snow on snow provides traction. Here is a link to the tool that does it. There are a lot of threads on here about this

Ah, like boat shoe sipes!

Are your tires loaded? I use windshield washer fluid, it adds weight without interference.

Yes my rear tires are loaded with beet juice. And in the winter I use chains on the rear so traction is not a issue. Now I am trying to get better steering without chaining the front tires which is why I'm asking about a weight bracket for the front.
