Just wondering, how many of you add some sort of fluid to your rear tires?

I run windshield washer fluid in the tires plus 90 lbs. each side of my homemade wheel weights.
Makes a HUGE difference ![]() |

I've got RV antifreeze on my All Trails, plus between 35-75lbs of wheel weights. Nothing like a firm planted feeling mowing across a 26 degree slope!

23x10.50s will fit around 7 gallons - I have antifreeze in mine + 1 set of wheel weights. It's a great thing to have!

That's the size of my rear tires maddog784. Did you fill them yourself? How?

Yeah - I filled them myself. I prefer the "break the bead" technique. I lay the tire down on the floor and break the top bead. Pour the fluid in (slowly at first, just to ensure that it doesn't run out of the bottom - mine didn't have any problems here). Put some air back in and mount them back on - instant traction. I used 3 gallons of antifreeze and 4 gallons of water. I forget what the freezing temp was, I think it was something like -20, and it doesn't get that cold here.
Others on here have found some sort of drill-operated pump that pumps the fluid into the tire. Seems to me like it would take a while for all of that fluid to get through the valve stem.

I load mine with 8oz of dawn in each tire and top off with water. I keep my cubs in my garage and it never gets under 45 and I live in NC.

Actually, it doesnt take to long to load through the valve steams. i do since mine have tubes.

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.
