I've got the V-61's on my 782, and their a nice tire, and reasonably priced.
But I like the tri-ribs on my 1650 better. They seem to steer easier, feels like power steering, and look so darn cool, but they are more money. Personally if I had the choice, I would go tri-ribs. IMO

Well since they don't make a tri rib tire to fit a 982 I'd stick with the tires you have on there. I like the traction of the turf tire and don't really care for the look of airplane tires on the front of my tractor. Hey, you asked! Sorry if I offended anyone, just my thoughts on the matter.

Hey Bill why don't you tell us what you really think. We have put v61s on one of our tractors but have not had much experience with them as it is currently in refurb mode.

Paul, your a hoot! LOL!!! When someone ask for my opinion they better be ready for it. I did say I'm sorry if I hurt feelings but they do remind me of aircraft tires. Now some guy's front tires are off the ground quite abit while pulling and plowing and thinking they are doing touch and go's in a plane and thats the reason for likeing them ribs?

Lol, thanks guys for your opinions, I appreciate the info. I think I will keep whats on the 982 for now cause they are practically brand new. They turn ok in loose dirt but didnt know if v61 were a better "dirt" tire for turning in loose ground. I use the 982 primarily to disc and have to turn in loose dirt but I use my turning brakes and they work great. If anybody else has some info or opinion feel free to chime on in.

Actually Bill, the tri-ribs are a much better turning tire for field work.
We have them on most of our farm tractors, the 856, 1086, M and the off color one. So it's not a look, it's for function.

Actually zippy1 I'm an old dairy farm boy and I do like TRI-RIB tires. It's the multi rib V-61's that I don't care for on the tractor front. Now on a hay wagon, or forage wagon, or a gravity wagon, ( or airplane ) their fine! the multi rib's don't drag alot of mud & dirt out of the field and on to the road like regular treaded tires do. OK ?

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.
