way more power than traction

I have 4 oversized tires and fluid-filled ALL 4.

Fluid weight is about 255 lbs.

Also have over 100 lbs of steel on the rear.

Also run ags and winter ice chains.

 

All that weight makes a HUGE difference.

In this pic you can see where the rear clevis hitch cable is attached this is where the snow blower lift flag attaches then above that is of the round bars through the frame for the foot boards if where the other end of the helper spring goes...

Jeff  has the answer for the WH spring.    When I had my three home made garage door springs on mine, I hooked them to a bar fixed in the mid attach-a-matic.

I just bought a 96 416-8 with a deck and a 2 stage 42 inch snowblower. I'm 33 and this is the first riding lawnmower I have ever owned. I want to purchase a trailer to haul the 416 around with the snowblower attached. Can anyone tell me how long the mower is with the blower attached? I know I could just go attach the blower and find out myself but I don't want to take the deck off yet and I know its going to take me awhile to get that blower attached seeing as how I've never done that before. Would an 8 foot 2 place snowmobile trailer work? Thanks.

 And my wife will have the question how many wheel horses does one man need, and I will say I don't think any man has reached that number.

Pullstart is getting close.

 

I think.

 

 

 

My dad had a blower attachment that he used on his 312-8. He used it for two years, and then went back to plows, but I don't know why. I do remember that transporting the blower was easier with it raised.
