Point of Duals?
I've seen that duals have been an option on many cub cadets. However, with their lightness, soil compaction doesn't seem to be so much of an issue and most garden tractors don't seem to run duals with a disk, so what's the point of the dual wheels for them? Just a thought I was thinking about

They do increase the surface area contact and can add weight to the rear end, which is much needed for some front end implements. I have them on my original and need them for my Mars sweepster broom on the front. They are also good for a wider stance if you are on inclines. I am running the 6's on the back and in order to make my duals more narrow (so they do not stick out much past the front tires since I want to be in the path of my broom), I reversed the inside pair for the offset and put the outer pair on facing out. This also allowed me to use smaller carriage bolts on them, which are a bit easier to maneuver.
IMO, anyone with a FEL especially if they are running the 6's on the back, could benefit from the stability and added weight of duals on the back. So, aside from the "cool factor", they do indeed serve a purpose for certain applications. Cub Cadet 123

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.
