MFP8055,
Its got to be the tubes just are not stretched out yet. Depending on the type of 23x10.5-12s you have (some are a little bit wider or taller) you should easily get between 7 and 8 gallons in with the valve stem at the 12:00o'clock position. Air them up to between 12 and 15 psi. and use it for a few days and try adding some more. I only have tubes in one of my tractors (jd) and they were in when i got it. So they were already stretched. Just my

How did you get the fluid in? pump, air pressure or gravity.

I used the "drill pump" previously described with the TSC valve stem-to-garden hose adapter. It worked well when vented every gallon or so. The Deestone tires seem just a bit narrow, and are 6 ply, so the internal volume may be a little lower than a tubeless standard 23X10.50-12. I had the same thoughts about the rubber being stiff. I'll run them this winter and next summer, when it's warm, take another shot at topping them off. I made concrete wheel weights which are in place now, so access to the stem is going to be a PITA. With a total of 75 lbs. per wheel in place already, I'll probably just leave it as is.

weights
I hope to get some pictures posted in a day or two. But here's one so you can see my concrete wheel weights. I used sonna tubes and plywood for the molds, and electrical conduit in the concrete for the mounting bolts. After they were dry, I gave them multiple coats of concrete sealer. It's a little bit of a PITA to get to the valve stems, but not impossible. The weights stick out quite a bit from the rims, but I wanted as much mass as possible. I estimate them to weigh about 30 pounds each.

Jeff122,
Not bad, you did a good job. Would it have been possible to put something in the sonna tube to leave a void, so there would be room to get to the valve stem easier?

Actually, the tip of the valve stem is about in the middle of the weight. I can remove the cap and put air in if I pull the stem out slightly with my finger tips. A longer valve stem or a 90 degree valve stem would eliminate this issue. If anyone is wondering, I used 1/2" threaded rod to mount these to the rims. Also, future pics will show how I added almost 200 pounds to the rear of the tractor.

Jeff, Those weights look pretty nice. I'm in the process of making some concrete weights too. I'm going to fill pieces of 8" i.d. corrugated plastic drainage tile and cover the ends with sheet metal so that it will hide the concrete and so it can be painted. They will be mounted with a 3/4" threaded rod thru the center of a piece of steel tubing set in the concrete. I've got some scrap steel pieces I'm gonna throw into the concrete too since steel is heavier than concrete. Using just concrete they would weigh right around 20 lbs each.

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.
