another reason for fluid in the wheels is that it is adding weight at the lowest possible center of gravity. Like I said, I've got fluid filled tires, wheel weights, and suitcase weights. Think of it in this sense...

If you've got "cement" shoes it's pretty hard to be pushed over. If you've got weights on your knees it's a little easier to be pushed over, if you've got a weight belt on, even easier to be pushed over... even though you are adding weight each time the lower the weight the more stable you are.

Like Duke stated, my yard is pretty much insane. I ride crossways about 75-100 yards on roughly a 28 degree slope, then there is another part that I have to ride up a 45-49 degree slope (I can't make it all the way up it, I have to back down about 3/4 of the way up).

Even in the winter with all my weight I have no need for chains, I'm heavy enough that I have good traction and have easily pushed 18"+ of heavy wet snow. I've got several youtube vids of it too.

I like fluid filled tires. I also use Dawn and water in my tires. I live in north west Ohio and never had them freeze. Someone mentioned taking it out in the summer and putting it back in the winter, I would leave it in year round and not mess with it. It help me almost as much in the summer with wet grass and mud. Also finding a set of used weights is hard and at a cheap price is even harder.

It's your tractor and do as you see fit. For me I wouldn't have it any other way.:American Flag 1:

Have heard many times, some use windshield washer fluid in the tires, so it doesn't freeze. Going to add it to my 129 tires. I have weights for my 782, but thought of adding fluid also. I have very little flat ground to mow. About 75% of my 3 acres of grass is steep hill. Ag tires and extra weight is a must.

I use "Rim Guard" in all my tires. It's completely biodegradable, and approved as animal feed. Not to mention that it's around 11#'s per gallon. Washer fluid is only around 8#'s per gallon. The only downfall to Rim Guard is the price. It cost near $4 per gallon.

Do you guys use tubes or not when you load them?

Yep:biggrin2:

instead of taking the fluid out and putting it in, just buy another set of tires from a sponsor or craigslist. tires on rims for garden tractors are a dime a dozen.

LOL. Just buy more then one Cub. One for summer, one for winter.
