fatter for a wider surface area and better for bite. skinny is good for snow and mud.

skinny ags will work great pretty much anywhere same for the wide ags. and for pullin some will tell you one and others tell you different. its your preference and pulling style that decides the tire best for you.

Default Tire width
I haven't pull Cub, but I think it would be the same for larger tractor. I have found that narrower tires work better if track conditions are hard clay type surface. They tend to have higher pressures that bite the surface. In loose more gravel type tracks wider works well. I am not an expert mind you just my observations from watching my girl pull my antique farm tractors.

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.
