I love them on my 784. What I like is the easy ability to keep them clean when in wet terrain and they grip in turns awesome. No sliding unless I have a plow on the back. I have no weights for the front yet.

No problems with tearing up anything, just good grip. I think I will always have these on wide rims and Tri Ribs if I run the narrow rims on the WF series Cubs.

Nice pics guys!looks great! how do the steer? easy? hard? I have a set of multiribs on the front and they steer alot harder than my 4-4.80 3 ribs, im thinkn those 5 ribs with less ground contact should steer better? Also how wide do they actually measure? also heigth? some are taller and shorter than others. Thanks

Mine steers easy, but hard steering can also be due to a steering column that needs rebuilt. The narrow tri ribs will always be the easiest size tire to steer with.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
