Default Front Ags 4 going backwards in Look'n Good!
Even if I had a 4wd tractor I wouldn't have ags on the front. I think they look down right hidious! Kinda like you're gonna go mow through a swamp somwhere. I bought a 982 that the PO just put brand new ags on the front and ask me how I liked them. I replied, when I get this thing home they'll be the first thing I take off before someone sees the tractor! Hey, if you guys like em, fine! I just think they look really bad (and not in a good way!). I sure dig'em on the rear (where they belong) of any tractor.

Exactly. It's your machine do what you want with it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

i agree. i personally like the tri-rib look on a 2 wheel drive tractor, as these garden tractors are. anything thats FWA can have those Ag treads on the front.

I'm using the X-trac on the front of my GT2544 and it helps a ton with steering in snow.

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.
