Georg-

There is a company in Europe (I can't remember which country) that makes 5-rib tires in the 16 - 6.50 - 8 size. Search for "Vredestein V61". I don't own a set of these, but I have heard many good things about them.

thanks Matt,

i looked for it, Vredestein is a Company from Nederland, theyr have good Tires for Cars and Agricultural, but i'm intresting at 3 Rib Tires.

The 3 Ribs in 4.00 x 8 are no Problem, there are much used on Haymachines, tey are working on the Hills, but i don't have the right Rims for it to put on my Cub.
My Problem is, if i work with the Plow, the Front Wheels slide away.

mfg Georg

George-

The front wheels will not slide with these tires. The 5 ribs are very deep. I will see if I can find a picture.

Edit:



This is a picture of the Vredestein V61 tires in the 16-6.5-8 size that will fit the front wheels of your 782.

So where would a person look for a beast like this....in North America....perhaps Canada??

Yes, I am being a smart butt! Matt is FULL of knowledge...lets see if he can pull a dealer out of his hat!?

Not sure about Canada, but...

Tire Place of Queens
Tires Unlimited

I'd recommend the second link...they don't have them on their website, but you can call/email for a quote. They do make the larger 18 - 8.50 - 8 size for the supers as well as the 16 - 6.50 - 8 for the standard-frame GTs. After 7 years and ~45 cub cadets, I think it might be time for me to get a new set of front tires for something. I have purchased ONE new tire before this...

The reason you can't find them is because they are no longer in production.

I don't have much first-hand experience with ags...the only pair I have in use is a 35-year-old set of Goodyear 10.50s. When I buy a set, they will be Carlisle Tru-Powers or Super Lugs, as I believe they are still made here. I am a bit leery of the Dico, Deestone, Nanco, etc. brands because I don't think the rubber compounds are as good. I once bought a 128 that was stored inside and had Nanco tires on the front...they were so new the little nubs were hardly worn off, but they were so cracked and weathered that they leaked and had to be replaced.

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.
