Default Liquid filling tires
When Liquid filling tires do go tubeless or do you use tubes?

Depends on the quality of the tire and rim seal. If you have a slow leaker you need tubes. If you nave nice new rubber and a very clean bead seat you can do tubeless.

The only way to go is tubes. Cheap insurance.
Hit a hole and shock the tire(s) you could pop the bead.

Only problem with filling tubes is if you get a puncture you will have to remove the liquid, fix or replace tube, and refill. With tubeless you can stick a plug in it and be on your way. Also if you go tubeless I would suggest installing metal valve stems. Rim guard has had issues with the water in it breaking down the glue that holds the metal core in the rubber tubeless valve stems. And I would imagine using windshield washer, antifreeze or similar liquids instead would have the same issues.

Don't know what use you plan on filling the tires for but, the last plow day I was at a guy was plowing and the wheel slipped on the rim and ripped the valve stem out of the tube. Just something to consider as well.

Sounds like his air pressure was too low, or he was carrying too much weight on the tractor itself. On garden tractors, that is nearly unheard of. Larger machines, yes.....

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.
