Oh yeah - a front mount snowblower sure requires rear weights to balance it
out but that's a lot heavier than a blade. My JD 110 & snowblower came
with 3 rear weights (bought 2nd hand) - 2 on the wheels and 1 hanging off
the back. Since I have the 2 identical Cub Cadet 128's, one with weights
and one without, I'll see what the difference is with just the blades &
chains.
