Hi all. I recently had a cycle country 4' plow put on my Recon and I plan on adding some weight to the back when plowing. I have chains on the rear tires and was curious on whether you would add one 50 pound bag of rock salt to the back rack or two bags? 100 pounds seems like a lot to me but wanted to get your opinion. Thanks!

Nobosy pays attention to rack weights anyway. they can hold more than they say.
:biggrin: :biggrin:
The front box was built years ago to carry my chainsaw or fencing supplies. I pulled it off and am gonna add this to the rear...pretty sure the chainsaw will sit in it if needed. Ordered it from Cabelas...had $25 built up from my Cabelas card and had a $20 off code so I got it for $45 off.

Middletown, VA. Not a whole lot but we live on a non state-maintained dead end road and have a 100 yard gravel driveway. We have always depended on the neighbor farmer to plow us with his Kabota (sp?). We got 20 inches on December 19th...that is what laid this plan into effect.
It feels good not to feel dependent on someone else. He would never accept money but with a significant snow, we were truly stuck until he came.
Plus we have a 2 1/2 year old and it feels good to know we can get out if anything ever happened and we had to take him to the doctor.
