Default tires for 1200

hello kinda new to this site. I have a 1200 garden tractor it has I guess you would saw stock narrow tires on the rear, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what size i could put on it, to make the stance of the tractor a little more wider, and for better traction as I cant hardly go anywhere in my yard without getting stuck. thank you for any help

Being it is a 1200 I am going to say you may have 23X8.50X12 tires. You can put a set of 23x10.50x12 ag tires on and have a wider stance and much better traction. No they don't tear up the yard. Or at least mine don't. They will fit the narrow rim, but would be much better on a set of factory 8.5" rims instead of the 7" rims.
Here is a chart to help you out:

Are you spinning your tires alot? Are you using any wheel weights? I assume your using turf tires now?

Wheel weights will help a bunch, and you don't have to use factory cast iron ones if you cannot find them. Folks have used round concrete weights with bolts cast in to match the wheel holes for the weights , not hard to make and not too expensive. Just need a round form.

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.
