Default Plowing with Duals
Does anyone out there plow with dual wheels on their cubs. I thought about putting duals on my 128 to give it more weight in the back but with the extra wheel on the right side i figured it might not let the tractor drop down into the furrow.

I've seen guys with the on land dual (left side) and no dual on the right. You can't have duals on the right because like you said it would not be able to drop into the furrow.

I didn't have the duals on. We took the outer tires off.

I've watched a lot of tractors with duals on the upper side of the tractor(left). As it is the out side of the first tire barely hits the ground unless it's real soft. The only benefit the second tire would do is more weight maybe more stable. Most of the time the diff gets caught up on the tip of the furrow. I find it's better to have taller tires.
There are a lot of different theory's of this. I've plowed with a model 70 with 8.5's with no problems except the diff getting caught up. Traction was never really a problem.

Is it plow day yet!

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.
