Question Tires
Ok I have seen a lot of you guys with the AG style tires and it got me to thinking. I have problems mowing the ditch in front of my house and they would be great for traction on that hill. But would it be worth it. I have about 2 acres of otherwise flat yard to take care of and don't want to get beat to death by too aggressive of a tire. Would adding wheel weights or fluid alleviate my problem with out changing my turf tires. Thanks guys

You could filling your tires first but I think the switch to AGS and fuild filled would be better set up for you. They will not tear up your yard on the flat parts.

how about Carlisle All Trails... (HDAP)... best of both worlds. I'm running them on my GT2544 and they are filled. About 70-75lbs each filled w/washer fluid.

My liquid filled ags don't ride any more harsh than regular yard tires. But I don't have to worry about spinning and they don't tear up the turf.

I have the AG's on my 147 and they don't hurt the lawn one bit.
They actually help by not matting the tall grass down as much when I mow in reverse.

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.
