Default Rear tires for mud?
Guys I know tires have been talked about a few times but I haven't really come across a definite answer for my circumstance , sooo here goes. After the flooding season there is a good amount of mud left behind, I have the 1872 with the johnny bucket to clear the mud. As it stands right now I use the tractor for digging, leveling and other dirt work. I run turf tires, cub cast weights and chains year round with pretty good success but the thick wet mud adds a whole other challenge. This leads my to my question will the benefits of the bar tires out weigh the cost spent on them? Is there that much of a gain versus chains?

I think a good set of ags will help out greatly, I know alot of people recommend Carlisle's but the deestones work great and are much cheaper. I had deestones on my 108 and I never had an issue, I did switch them out for Carlisle's but only because I got a new set as part of a trade and after having run both I don't really notice any difference in traction.

My choice would be 26X12X12 Tru-Power or Firestone ag tires on 10-1/2" wide rims filled with fluid.

I was checking those out last night I've seen those on the Kubota's There suppose to be gentle on the turf but good in the dirt. according to the specs they have .5 tread if I recall. I didn't know if it would give me enough traction in the muck they sure look awesome though.

My local guy says about $45.00 per tire to fill will get me about 35 lbs. I cant find washer fluid in bulk I think I should be able to get more in there by breaking the bead as others on the forum have suggested. Nice tires and cub by the way.

Any parts store can sell you washer fluid by the case, there's 6 gallons in a case and I usually pay $12 a case. When I filled my 23x8.50s it took 6 gallons per tire and I guarantee its more than 35 lbs.

Thanks tim I will check them out. I know a lot of other forum members recommend the Carlisle's I'm sure they or others would give some improvement but worth the cost I wonder because after all its still only a 2wd. in sometimes 10 inches of muck.

About 51 lbs? at the weight of water at 8.8lbs per gal? I don't know what method he's using but I was surprised that's all he could get in there

Water weighs 8.345404 per gal.

Loading the tires is easy. I just have my tire guy break the bead on the valve stem side, lay the tire on it's side and pour what ever your using in. Last set I did I got used anti freeze for FREE from the local shop. Used about 10 gals per tire. The wooden wedge holds the side wall down while I fill it.

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.
