The whole thing about a zero turn is that it's just capable of doing a zero turn. If you don't want tear marks you really need to make a 3 point turn. No matter what type of tire you use, if you have one tire turning and the other not turning, you will always get tear out.

What happens if you turn them like a dozer one forward and one in reverse?

You can, that's what I usually do, but I think technically they still call that a 3 point, because if you just rotate like a dozer would, you'd be pointed right back in the same direction unless you moved over at least the deck width.

The key point is, you just can't have a wheel not rotating, if it's not spinning, it'll tear out the turf.

Thanks Gary. That makes sense. I don't always leave marks, just during the spring when the soil is moist. Maybe I will work on my technique.

Technique is a big part. The main reason I put on the ags, is due to very wet soil here when it is the rainy season and the ZT just seems to sink with the turf tires all packed with mud and will only spin making things worse. I needed to be able to make it thru the mud or be able to reverse and get out. I wasn't able to do that with the turfs. I have been learning the slight 3 point turn and it works great.

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.
