Default Front ag tires?
Hi everyone, I have been thinking of putting ag tires on my 129. My tractor has 4.80-4x8 tires on the front, I have a set of carlisle power trac ags on my troybilt tiller That I am going to sell and I was thinking of swapping the power tracs to the front of the 129. My question is, How well do the ag tire steer in comparison to a set of knob tires? Noticebly better/worse? I have noticed some people put the ag tires on backwards when installed on the front of the tractor. What do you all think?? Oh yeah I have a line on a set of Carlisle power trac 23x8.5-12 for the rear, so I would have matching ags front and rear. Thanks

Mark

They should be mounted backwards or you will get under steer.I have a set on my loader and had to mount them backwards.

I think AG tires only belong on the front of a tractor if it is a MFD (mechanical front drive) and they look ridiculous otherwise.

Agreed they look funny and not practical on a 2x4 tractor. They came on my loader. I put X-Trac on my 1811(front) and love them in the snow and mud. My O has 400x8 ags up front and look cool. But not an every day tractor (Semi-restored). My loader will get X-Tracs soon.

I have them on my 149. I don't care what anybody says, it's my tractor. I don't think it affects the steering at all. I like the look.

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.
