By the way, since I bought this tractor as my snow pushing tractor, what's a good front tire for that purpose or does that really matter? I have chains and weights for the rears.

On snow and ice, it really doesn't matter. Oh, a rib tire will make a difference, but I'm not sure it's worth the cost. I used to use my Cubs to clear parking lots. Like several... and driveways. Never had anything other than turfs on the front. Know your limits, and use them to your advantage. As a note, I've ran and used all kinds of tractors in the snow. Chains make all the difference in the world. Steering.... well, it's best if you have something with individual brakes.

The narrow rim tires work better for me. Tried it both ways.

I agree. Best tires I've used in the snow were narrow tri ribs, the wide tri ribs suck.

The 1250 bllwnkl bought has 3/4" axle spindles so he can put on "skinnies" very easily.

On snow, where we get real snow fall, NY 35" average, Canton Ohio 40" average. The narrower the front tire the better. Narrow tires cut through snow. Wide tires sit on top.. It would not make much difference in climate like Oblong Illinois where they only see about 12" per year on average.

On Ice, narrow or wide you will slip and slide LOL

On a tire that is only 12" tall, it doesn't matter if you get 3" of snow at a time, or 200". You will have the same issues. Geography plays no part in it, unless you live in the south where no snow falls. Ice is ice, and snow is snow. I never saw any advantage, wide or narrow tires. They will all slide on ice and snow. 90% of how the tractor handles, is dependent upon the operator.

Height of tire has no bearing on this particular issue. Coming from a snow state and having plowed snow for 30 plus years, I can tell you narrow tires perform better in snow. I stated ice makes no difference. I left out however, Here it is still common place to add studs to tires. In that case you could combat ice some

And 3" vs 10" is a different ball game let alone your 3" vs 200".. lol

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.
