Yes that was quite the snowfall. I am just glad the wind was not worse than it was. The snow blower setup works well. i have a very long driveway and it sure beats using a blade. I was looking at the tractor this morning checking everything over and think I can fit some flat ductwork between the side covers and the command engine to direct some heat back to the cab. I will need to get some extra side covers and a firewall as this will require some hole cutting etc. Project for warmer weather.

I just need a way to get some engine heat in there to help keep the windshield clean. A couple of pictures of it in action.

I have one for sale $20.00 plus the shipping. PM me if you want it.

Some aggressive tread there!! No figure eights on the front lawn.

How do the ATV tires perform on these tractors?

Figure 8's
Yeah can't wait to try them out in the snow next winter?
The 2182 is going to be my dedicated snow thrower.
It needs a bunch done to it as it's been sitting for a few years.
I hope the Kenda ATV's do alright in the snow, they have great
reviews and the tread depth is an 1 1/8" so... I hope it's not an $170.00 mistake
I really like the fronts. Wanted something different than
the AIR LOC R1 Lug tires I put on a lot of my narrow frames,
they were not cheap either $132.00 IIRC

Is there any advantage in steering with ags on the front when not 4 wheel drive? I would think tri-ribs would do better steering than ags, because I think the rib would act more like a "rudder" in sloppy stuff.

While I do really like/love the look of the lug tires on the front,
I chose them on my thinking (very limited these days)
and experience with non lug front tires in snow. To coin the
race car phrase "I'm blanking plowing in the turns" while hoping
you'll turn going down your very steep driveway,
before crashing into your truck, tree,
light pole, the stone wall on the one side of the driveway etc.
The lugs in theory (mine) should clean out faster, compared
to the others, that once packed with snow, basically become slicks,
almost. I'm hoping that they work better than what I had on the front.
If not, they still look really cool IMO.

My tri-ribs work great and have some advantages; no tread to clog with snow and they steer like power steering.

First, very nice looking 782 you have there.
I really don't see any clogging issues
with the OTR's I put on the front.
This is just me, nothing personal to you or anyone else here.
While I agree about the Tri-Ribs
not clogging and steering fine,
I personally do not like the look of a Tri-Rib tire.
When I saw the OTR's,
I said that's the one, they look Bad A__ To Me,
and no real tread/lugs to clog up.
If they do happen to clog, I'm in something other than snow. and I'M IN DEEP

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.
