Default Which ags ?
I have spare rims to accomodate either the wide or narrow rear tires for my wide frame 1000. I have wheel weights of 60 lb each, and I weigh 200 lb.

I'm up in the air about getting the 10.50 or 8.50 ags. I mostly use the tractor for mowing, and I'm wanting to get away from spinning on damp grassy slopes.

I'm leaning toward the more narrow ones if they're less expensive. Would the wider ones make less of an imprint on the yard? Any suggestions, pros/ cons, opinions? Thx.

I love my Carlisle Tru-Powers. They are 23x10.5x12's. They don't seem to hurt the lawn one bit, but then I'm not spinning them either.

I run the wide ones on everything I get if I can. My 128 came factory with the 8.50's and as far as I know they did great too. I have the Deestone 10.50's on the 784 with loaded tires and it just does not spin in the yard at all. Just pulls nice and strong and have never left an unsightly mark yet.

Josh on your 1000 I would use the 10.50 Carlisle Tru-Powers. They are very flat and have tons of grip. I would load the tires as well. You'll gain about 180lbs for both tires.

Thx guys. Yes those Carlisles look sweet, although I may have to go with the Deestones for $$ reasons.

I do think I'll go with the wider ones, the 10.50 size.

CaptMax, that's a great picture. Your machine looks awesome with those tires and stainless sleeve hitch adapter.

Deestones 10.50's:

They dig and pull awesome. The Carlisles are nice but I have no issue with the Deestones at all.

I went with a set of the Deestone 23-8.50-12's and tri ribs up front, saved the larger set of wheels for new turfs for the 149. I can't tell you how the work but they are 6 ply rated and it rolls around the shop nicely!

Josh I have a set of deestones and love them but they are a narrower tire next to tru powers. The 10.50 are slightly larger then 8.50. The deestones proform very well and I would buy another set. I can under stand the buget reason.

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.
