I worked my way up when I first got my first garden tractor (this 782). It had chains on the rear do that's what I used the first year.  With typically wet snow in my area,  I found I would lose traction as the plow filled during 6" snowfalls.  I came across 10lb wheel weights so I thru them on.  I did notice some improvement.  Having leftover cement after a household job I decided to make these cement discs and weld up a little Hold for them.   At about 60lbs, they made a big difference when having a lot of snow in the plow.  I don't think I would get any great gains by adding more weight.  Maybe I'd get more traction under some circumstances but I don't feel the need for my average task.  Not to mention,  the less weight on the wheel bearings means less stress.
