Loading tires
I've read a lot, both here and elsewhere, about loading tires. My 23x8.50x12 ag tires just arrived. I'm pretty sure I'll be using windshield washer fluid. I've read that it should take around 7 gallons per tire. But I never read about adding air or how much. Is there a preferred psi to put into a loaded tire of this size?

I have always heard to put the valve stem at 12:00. Then fill the tube-tire till it runs out the stem. Then put the valve back in and fill with air to recomended pressure on sidewall.

Use tubes. After you get the fluid in, just run normal air pressure.
Oh, and I'd be really surprised if you got more than 6 gallons in there. My 8.50s are about 90% full and there's only 6 gallons in each. Still helps a ton though.

As Joe said, run them at the pressure rating on the sidewall. But be careful, the PSI will get there really fast since you have very little air volume now that most if it is liquid. You can hit dangerous pressures within seconds if your compressor regulator is at 120. Bump them up slowly...
Be safe, Jim

Here's a chart that was posted in an earlier thread:

Matt I'm just curious about the tubes. I know you always say to run them in fluid filled tires, but I would think that if you punctured the tire, then you are going to puncture the tube as well and then what's to keep the fluid from leaking out. I can fully understand running tubes to keep the fluid from eating the rims, but I can't see how they help prevent the fluid from spilling out.

I have knocked a tire off of a rim before...pictures are floating around in here somewhere. I'm personally not too worried about punctures, as I don't have sharp objects laying around in my driveway and yard. Unless you've got a freshly-painted wheel and new tire (doesn't happen with my stuff...lol), odds are there'll be some bead seating issues. I'm not sure if the air leaked out of the tire that I knocked off, but for whatever reason, it came off the rim, made a gigantic mess, and caused me to have to change a tire 1/3 mile away from home standing in a pile of windshield washer fluid slush.

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.
