Best style of tire (front and back) for gardening/work
While I am not ready to put my 126 to work yet, I am starting to look for tires. My plans for this machine are to use it to plow and till my garden, push snow with a plow and pull carts of firewood around.
I will eventually get a deck for it, but I already have a mower for that. Currently it has 23x9.50-12 turf tires on the back and 16x6.50 8 b/4ply on the front. I was thinking Ag tires (I am coming from an agricultural background so I like the look of ag tires) on the back and putting newer versions of what is currently on the front. The current tires are all checked really bad and two have leaks.

Checking/cracking on a slow speed application is not a problem.
Bulging/ cord separation is a problem. Minor air loss can be cured with tubes installed and helpful when you fill them with fluid for added traction for the chores you mentioned. Now if you want to replace them because of the "cool" factor some find Deerstones AG tread helpful.

I thought about just patching them, but this machine has all new paint and decals and the old tires would just throw everything off

I use my 125 in much the same way you describe. I pull a garden plow, I push a snow plow, I pull trailers around the yard, both loaded and empty. I also pull my Lincoln engine driven welder around with it. I put Ag tires on the back and Ribbed tires on the front. I put chains on the rear to push snow. (see pic)
Don't let anybody tell you that Ag tires will tear up your lawn. They only tear lawn when they spin, and they only spin if you deliberately make them spin. Ag tires have much more traction and are less inclined to spin. I did more lawn damage before I put the Ag tires on when it still had the turf tires on it because they spun very easily. I use it for my shop mule, and it really does pull like a mule.

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.
