Default 16x6.50-8 tri ribs

Looking for a set for my 782. Just got back from tilling a garden and getting tired of spraying out the Carlisle turfs on the front and rear. Want to go with a lug tire in the rear and tri ribs up front, the only thing this tractor does is till. Got sticker shock when pricing the front tires, their more than the rears! Anyone run this size in tri ribs, where'd you get them at?

Miller is the only place to get them, they're made specially for them. I bought mine off Miller's store on eBay and got a slightly better price.

Looking at Miller's eBay site can buy one for $70 plus $15.94 shipping. You can buy 2 for $180 and free shipping. Might as well buy 2 seperate instead of the pair. CC Specialies has them for $160 a pair plus $10 shipping.

You could put a set of lugs on the front for a bunch cheaper. Probably still better than turfs.

A pair of lugs for the front should cost you around $60 or about 1/3 of the price. The steering benefits are very comparable with the lugs and "the look" will still be there with lugs on the front. I cannot justify going with the tri ribs for the front at that price, myself.

Thanks for the help fellas, yep, been checking out millers guess they can pretty much set their price. I saw the 5 rib V61s are $20 cheaper, I was gonna order 2 but of course their out of stock. I just can't bring myself to put the lug tires on the front, I wouldn't be happy with it. Now if it was four wheel drive like my kubota then that'd be fine but just seems weird to me to have ags on the front of a 2wd tractor plus I like the old farm tractor look. I have Deestone 4.00x8 tri ribs on a couple and really like them a lot and they were inexpensive. If the 5 rib get stocked soon ill order them was hoping to get something this week

Why buy tri ribs when you can get the V61's for much less?

16x6.50-8 V61 HD 5-Rib 170/60-8 6 ply $52.00

Take a look at what I have on the front of my 149, they seem to work just fine for tilling.

It would be kewl if there was someone that made skinny front rims that can be used on the 782.
Is it possible to remove the center hub from a 70 and replace it with one from a 1211?

Lew, if your fine with 3/4" spindles, just use a set from a wide frame. They bolt right up to the '82 series axle.

I just put a set on my 1050:

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.
