On average my 8.5" Firestone Ag Dual hangs out there barely touching the ground, but its a 30 pound weight.

Here's a pic of a friends cub showing the dual barely touching the ground.

IIRC, I've seen pictures on the net, of someone on an Original, pulling a plow with two duels (for a total of 3) tires on the left side. not sure who it was but I believe that both duels were off the ground in the pictures.

I really don't think it matters so much it the tire touches the ground or not... I think it's all about the weight. As we all already know, weight and traction are our worst enemies.

Do you suppose it would make more sense to put the skinny tire on the inside, and the larger tire on the outside? I'm going to try for my first ever plow day even if I don't pull next year over in P.A . Maybe I'll know a little better.

No, I think that would put an awful lot of stress on the inner tire rim. Typically, on a dual you run lower tire pressure so that the inside tire is carrying more weight. Then the dual, just helps. But, a smaller one on the outside really doesn't hurt..... just doesn't help much either except for weight.

I haven't ever heard anyone say they have, but I'm surprised no one busts a wheel rim using the "clamp on" or wheel spacer method. In my mind the "original" style dual wheel axle would be better. Puts the stress on the axle hub and not the rim. But it doesn't sound like it matters much.

Having used the set up, I had the same feeling, respectably. Its a whole new ball game in tractor stance and stability. The axels I have read about, seem to have been over-weighted, as in use with a F.E.L . The rear axels are not that thick of a diameter. I know the forum is not about my opinion,...... but I always practice keeping the wheel weights as close to the tractor as possible.

By the way, I like that/those dedicated duel wheel, rim center removed. Pretty much like what I see on some of the large agricultural farm tractors.

From what ive gathered on the pros & cons im just gonna put the dual on and see what happens. I definitely like the way it looks & come spring/fall see how it performs.

I thought id share a pic of how my 782 will look this coming spring with duals. I got the dual all painted up nice and in this pic the dual isnt mounted but is setting like it will be with my dual spacers. I cant mount the duals yet since i use this tractor to push snow with & with duals on the tractor would be wider than blade.

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.
