I modified a rear blade with a sandwiched section of horse-stall mat, which works really well on my gravel driveway.
With some snow in the FEL bucket for weight, loaded rears, and my fat butt, haven’t had the need for chains yet.

This is the same setup I use on both front and rear blade to prevent scraping up concrete and blacktop driveways I plow.

That tractor is way too light to be trying to push any substantial amount of snow to the side without it pushing the tractor around. I only use my rear blade in reverse on my LX2610 to fine tune the surface with the blower on the front. If I was to use the rear blade in the forward position, I would have to put skids on it to stop it from digging in.
"skids".....blade shoes.... are actually very effective.
