Any Benefit to loading front tires??
Just bought some 16x6.50 front Super Lug Ag tires for my Cub after the sliding down the embankment ordeal (front bald tires had no steering capability) and was wondering if it would hurt to load the front tires for a little more weight for pushing snow..These will only be used for snow duty as I will swap rims in the spring..
Thoughts? Opinions?

Dont know if it helps or not , but i did when i put them on my 1250 plow setup. Now that one has a blower. Plow went on the 1200. Man I like the 1250 with hydro and hydro lift.
First time today I plowed with the 1200 with no weight , and turf tires. Slid into my 07 chevy crew trying to go around the front. The turf tires would not turn and I clipped the front body plastic with the plow down by the fog light.  I ordered 4 lugs today .

My yard takes a whole 11 minutes to mow with the 44 inch deck on my 1200 but the yard has 3 old hand dug wells that were filled in and the grass is spongy. I tear it up just driving around on it regardless. That is the only reason I will put the turfs on in the summer. I love the look of all 4 AG's though. I debated doing the same thing with drilling and adding weights to the fronts with mine,but would either have to make some weights or look for some 5 lb weight lifting weights for it. I thought filling them with tubes would add 15 lbs at least per side.
My son has a 149 and a 108. He tells me all the time hydro is the way to go with plowing.I have a 165 JD hydro that I have used for plowing use,but I just can't get used to the handle by my hip. I do like the 1250 and the likes handle placement. I am trying desperately not to get the (I need every Cub I see) syndrome, but I am starting to lose that battle. I do want to get a wide frame and start building me a puller tractor though..Seems I have a few items accumulated already...

I have considered loading my front tires, however haven't yet really had the need When I first started pushing snow with my Cubs I was afraid that the front end of the tractor would slide sideways when the blade was angled. Have yet to have that problem, but then we haven't had a good ice with six inches of snow on top of it yet either.
I do feel that running a lug or tri rib would help a lot. I do prefer narrow straight tread tires as opposed to wide straight tread tires for snow duty, it just seems like they bite a little better. But, I don't know that loading them would hurt anything, especially if you get a lot of snow where you live.

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.
