That weight is good but it would help more if you use turf tires with chains. Fluid in the tires is good also, it adds another couple hundred pounds.

My rears are loaded with liquid calcium. The tire, rim and fluid to together weigh 100lbs. Then, if needed I add the 75lbs wheel weights. But, I just added a cab to that tractor, so I'm going to make a run at it without the weights to try it. I think the cab weighs at least 100lbs.... maybe more. So to answer your question.... I add about 300lbs.

Yeah, I do. The calcium was free, otherwise I'd used something else.

You know, for conversational purposes though..... I've been in the AG industry for a long time and the newer tractor (90's and up) went to tubeless tires. When they add liquid cal to them they don't tube them. Never really saw any ill effects of it. I personally wouldn't do it..... but they do.

I've got chains and 75# weights on turf tires with me at 210# in the seat. If I need more I've got cast iron body building weights I can add like the pullers use on the back lift. Adding any weight off the axles though will prematurely wear the axle bearings and promote leaks.

Do you have problems with the rear lift going up and down and the weight hitting anything?

These were also tubeless and we also ran CaCl2 in the rear tires. I think that the way the rims are designed allows them to be filled to the point that the rim is submerged and maybe that's why they don't get rotted out as bad. Just a guess. ![]()

for my son @ 80lbs. 350 to 400lbs total. Each wheel gets 50lb inside weights, 75lb outside, and fluid 50lbs??? Then have some weights to hang off the back if needed. 50 lb I think. Currently on AGs and chains but plan to get turfs for winter. Found more weight allows better control as to light and you will have to hit it sometimes to move harder snow. I could easily push more than he with less total weight and turfs with chains.
Oh, snowthrower on the front may tweak those numbers a bit. That was all on a blade setup. but I think it will be enough. |

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.
