Default Duals, do or don't?
I have my 125 cub hydro with a loader on it and didn't know opinions on duals? Traction, weight, how will the rear end handle? Basically worth it or not.

More tires= more traction.

Loaded tires= more weight more traction


Your choice.

Duels look pretty cool but they're a PITA to maneuver with.

Spend your money on a weight box.

I grew up on tractors with narrow front ends and duals. Never had any problems and they were a must when it comes to working ground.

When I build a loader tractor it will have 6-12s or 23-8.50-12 duals on it. Besides the extra traction the loader tractor will be more stable when the loader bucket is in the air.

A weight box in the rear makes the tractor longer.

The only way I would use dual rear tires is if I needed the flotation. Sometimes, it's best if tires work against the ground with lbs./sq/in pressure against the soil. In that case, skinny tires work better.

It mainly sounds like I'm hearing preference. It's there advantages and disadvantages.

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.
