Default Thoughts on front rib tires
I like the thicker five ribs, but I don't see many with them. Any reasons? Is it because they are tubes. I found one on Google images with them. I think they really make the little cubs look stocky.

What do you guys think?

I have the v61 ribs. Didn't even notice if they are supposed to be tubed. Mine aren't. They do look sweet though.

Here are deestone tri ribs on my 1650 with the skinny wheels.

That was my initial thought, too when I read the Title on this thread. I've never owned the wide ribbed tires, but the narrow ones turn with the greatest of ease due to the minimal surface area on the ground. Have you thought of the narrow ags on the front? I have them on 2 or 3 of mine and like the look and the handle of them.

I put tri-ribs on my 148R tractor, and I also like the look of ags on the front. Did that on my 1000 and 149...

I have the wide tri-ribs on my 782, I love them. Turns on a dime, you would almost think there was power steering on the tractor now. Didn't get to use them hardly at all in the snow yet, blew a rear seal on the KT17 shortly after this picture was taken. Have a 2 stage blower to install on it this fall and hopefully will get some use out of it this Winter?

Never has V's yet. Gotta get me some rear ag's first!

I really am liking those tri ribs on your 1650. My 129 is in need of new front tires, and I already decided that it will be getting tri ribs. (Your picture helped too.)
Do you have a part number for those, or a size? Did you mail order them? I didn't have much luck with an internet search, due to being not quite sure what I was looking for.

Thanks for any information/help.

I like the look of the v-61. They look like the would be great for grass and soft dirt. I plan on ordering a set for the front of my 149 Tiller tractor to help me turning in that loose dirt. Plus, they look reslly cool.

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.
