Default Tires and wheels...
Hi all, I'm new here and my 124 is basically a workhorse...I need to put the widest and tallest big bites on the back (have some mud to drag cut downs through, and barely making it). Do I need 10" wides, and what/where should I order?
Are the carlisle tru.....(can't remember) good?
Thanks

Are you running wheel weights? I have seen 26" tires on those BUT if you are in mud I think you would tear up your fenders running them.

Don't laugh, but my son (11 yr old)couldn't drag a load of dirt up the hill so I made a quick fix....80lbs of concrete in buckets with pvc to leave holes...so, I have 40lbs per wheel.
I'm usins the stock 6"? wheels, and the stock firestones.

Got 23 /10.5 x 12 turfs on my 1250. Went to a fun tractor pull, stone boat deal and couldn't move the sled at all without weights. I added a LOT of weight and easily pulled 1600 lbs without slipping much. Moral of the story...a bunch- o- weight is a good thing for traction. I had a set of stock simplicity weights, a pair of Case VAC weights, and 1.5 wheels worth of 9N ford weight halves draped over the tunnel cover. By the way...the cheapie trailer I was towing the tractor to the pull with didn't apprecialte all the extra weight either.. :biggrin2.gif:

thanks for the info. can I still buy those rims new?
And nobody has any advice to give on tires? I was looking at the carlise trupower (I think) because they look like they have a real aggresive bite.
I'm haulin cut timber through woods and a creek with a muddy bank...so far so good, but I'm limited to the amount I load on my steel sled becuz traction prob.

Have you checked Tucker tire's ebay listings?? He's got excellent pricing.. I think unless you actually go get professional pulling tires , ag tires will all be pretty much the same for your uses.

I have never actualy owned a pair of small tractor ags, but I do have a set on order from Tucker. 10.50x 12 23 high You also could get 26 12 x 12 ags.. The taller tires will take more power to turn.....

eastonct124,
I recommend ags all around. What I have done with one tractor, so far, is to have the tires foamed filled. Here are my perceived benefits. No flats, no leaks, 50lbs extra weight per 23x8.50x12 tire, no load limit. While mine are 4 ply, I could have gotten away with 2. The down side. No cushion from air and when you finally wear out the tire you have to cut it off the rim and clean the foam off. But if you think that you might actually wear out a set of ags you could install a tube first. Then the foam will be stuck to that and not the wheel. I got an extra 25 lbs per wheel up front with 4.80x4.00x8s.

What did you have to pay to get the foam fill? I did have a bud with a Kubota that wore thru the front tires and it was riding around on teh foam until he decided he needed traction..but that tractor was worked hard, broke often, and always put away wet.

What's that foam made out of, lead? You can't get 50lbs. in an 8.50 with washer fluid...

Matt I did have a brochure explaining everything but I must have pitched it after I got them filled. I go by their shop on my way to the hardware store. I'll stop and get one. I don't want to misrepresent the product. But really 50# per wheel. I also took their advise and put it in new tires. I'm about ready to get new rubber for my #1 100 and they will get filled also.

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.
