Duals, do or don't?
 
I have my 125 cub hydro with a loader on it and didn't know opinions on duals? Traction, weight, how will the rear end handle? Basically worth it or not.

More tires= more traction.

Loaded tires= more weight more traction


Your choice.

Duels look pretty cool but they're a PITA to maneuver with.

Spend your money on a weight box.

I grew up on tractors with narrow front ends and duals. Never had any problems and they were a must when it comes to working ground.

When I build a loader tractor it will have 6-12s or 23-8.50-12 duals on it. Besides the extra traction the loader tractor will be more stable when the loader bucket is in the air.

A weight box in the rear makes the tractor longer.

The only way I would use dual rear tires is if I needed the flotation. Sometimes, it's best if tires work against the ground with lbs./sq/in pressure against the soil. In that case, skinny tires work better.

It mainly sounds like I'm hearing preference. It's there advantages and disadvantages.

Yes. Traction and stability.
