Need advice on new tires for my M48 Tank
Hi everyone, I'm very excited to find this forum! I'm a new Cub Cadet owner, picked up a used M48 Tank a couple weeks ago. It's a 2008 with ~410 hours, model 53CB5DAV750.
I've used it to mow my two acres twice. Very little of my space is exactly flat, and my rear tires are both mis-matched and worn, so I slid around a bit. I've been reading about how to mow on slight slopes, what tires are best, etc. Based on that research it sounds like I want to put some good ag tires on the back, and possibly even fill them with antifreeze depending on how things feel. So here's my dilemna... My parts manual shows 23x9.50x12 tires, and that's what's on my Cub. I cannot find any place selling ag tires that size, only 8.5 or 10.5. So my questions: 1. Anybody know where I can find a 23x9.50 ag tire? 2. Can I go to the 10.5" tires? I do not have 1/2" of clearance between the inside of the current tire and the lift assembly rod (? I think that's what it's called) going back on the left side. I'm afraid a wider tire would not fit and would rub on that rod or arm. 3. Can I go to the 8.5" tires? From my research it seems I would be at greater risk over losing my seal, plus I'm going the wrong direction to improve traction. Thanks for any insight or advice. I can post a picture or two if that helps. Kip

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.
