The way I do it on tubeless tires is to lay the tire and rim flat on the floor with the valve stem were you break the bead in a small spot and pour it in.( Slowly ) As the tire fills you can slowly lift the stem side up and pour till no more will go in. I can get almost 9 gallons in 23x10.50s. The total weight in each is right at 90 pounds in Carlisle True Trac. Air it up and install. It is a huge help but for snow narrow tires with chains are best.

I used the tool that attatches to the valve stem with a bleeder valve and then to a garden hose fitting. I had a drill pump that I put the other end into a 5 gal bucket. It wasn't the fastest but wasn't all that bad. Got the valve stem adaptor at TSC for around $10.00. They had WWF on sale for $1.50 per gal, but don't know about now.

Now when I go thru the yard to the the dog kennels, if I don't pay attention, I doze the ground, where before I would just stop and spin. I have also made a bracket with a 1" allthread (like one I saw on here) to put another 50lbs of barbell weights or so on each wheel. Hope to get that set up this weekend. Thanks to all for the ideas I get off of here.
So it sounds like you got about 50 lbs. in each tire, now you are adding another 50 lbs. to each. That will make a huge difference, maybe even try that before changing out the tires. You mentioned the ground was soft so I wonder if you're better off with the tires you have.

If you can add another 100 lbs. on your rear hitch you'll go through almost anything!

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.
