I was hoping someone else was already the guinea pig and had an answer. I just ordered some basic 2 link chains . I'll give my feedback after a few trials this winter. Yes there is not a bunch of weight up front but a little more knobbiness to the tires may help. Ive read some threads where folks add weight up front. I wouldn't want to strain the linkage

I have run chains on the front of my 1512. They helped a little with steering while snow plowing but really help steer in the woods when I hauled wood.
These tractors push snow straight very well but without 4wd and weight of a full sized tractor angle plowing is tough. In the end I adjusted my plowing pattern so I generally run a straight plow instead of running my front chains.

My bad, I kind of separate Construction Tread and Turf Tread. I used the term Ag tread thinking Turf. https://www.tirebuyer.com/tires/lawn...rf-saver/45175

It helps if you know what tire you have. AG TIRE: 23_1050_12_Flotation_23_lug__18339.1334239225.220.220.jpgtru_power_lug__62515.1323867312.220.220.jpg Not to be confused with a pulling tire: 26_12_12_Nichols__24606.1347483277.220.220.jpg This style is a "construction" or "industrial" tread. Trac.chief__17278.1339080960.220.220.jpg Turf style tread: k505_1__12175.1467203407.220.220.jpg And these are a category their own. I consider them an aggressive turf, or "all terrain". They do not fit any other category.

Figure out a different direction to plow that gets the job done. My suggestion: Push snow uphill at the curve, or use a snowblower. It's OK to get off the tractor and use a shovel to get you started if you have trouble getting going the direction you need to go. |

I'm using the Firestone 3 rib tires, and its much better than turf tires, but still leaves something to be desired.

Love those industrial/construction treads.
I wonder if they are available in a size for our Cubs? Would be great to have a set of them on my loader tractor once I get it finished as it will be getting a workout next year in the cemetery re landscape job. |

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.
