I hope your wrong..... but I have the same feeling. Every time we had a Feb like this, that's what happened.

On a big farm tractor that has lots of weight, you can usually go to a larger tire and improve traction, but there is always a point of diminishing return. A Cub is no different. Comparatively, the difference between a 6" tire and and 10.50" tire is like the difference between a 18.4 farm tire and a flotation tire. Like I said, I'd prefer an 8.50, but that has more to do with ride than traction. (The 6" tires tend to "teeter" side to side more. At least on this tractor.) Plus, an 8.50 holds more fluid.
