Two-stage snow blowers are designed to move large amounts of snow.
The more snow that falls, the bigger the snow drifts.
As you muscle through the deep snow, your snow blower may occasionally bump up off the ground causing you to miss spots while clearing.
Front weight kits serve two important purposes for two-stage snow blowers.
Kick-Up Prevention
Front weight kits are typically bolted onto the top of the snow blower bucket.
The extra weight simply keeps it planted firmly on the ground, preventing it from riding up when clearing snow drifts.
Counter Balance
Your snow blower is a lot like a seesaw. The weight is counter-balanced on the back wheels.
When you add a heavy snow cab to the back, the weight is no longer balanced. As a result, the snow blower tends to kick up much more often.
If you get a snow cab, you really should get a front weight kit too.
