Which tires?
 
Hey guys, finally got a cub,a 129. Tires on rear are 23x10.5x12 turf tires. I also got a set of loaded, with weights on them,23x8.5x12. I plowed the garden a week ago and found the 10.5 width ran over part of the previously plowed furrow. so I'm thinking of going to 8.5 wide ag tires. Are Deestones better than BKT's? Anyone with a preference? Miller tire in Ohio, have the same price on both. BKT are 6 ply, Deestone are 4 ply. i'm going to be using this tractor for mostly garden duty with some lawn use, just pulling a cart around to help wife in flower beds and such. Sorry for long post.Just excited to start my cub affair.lol thanks for the help, more questions to come.

Probably neither choice would be wrong.

Between Deestones and BKT's I have no idea which is better, but if they are the same price, 6 ply seems to be a good choice even though you will never have enough weight on a Cub Cadet to need 6 plys.

Not to mention if you plan to mount them yourself, be prepared for a ball buster.

Thanks guys. I got some Deestones on order. Prepping rims and going to paint them. Then get tires mounted. Thanks for the replies.
