Narrow or wide ags, does it matter?
.
Is there any noticeable difference in traction between 23x8.50 and 23x10.50 Ag tires? I'm doing good at collecting ground engaging equipment, but with my turf tires I'm having a difficult time using it. I'm guessing I need some Ag tires for more traction? I have good 23x10.50 turf tires on there now and I have a narrower set of wheels with some junk 23x8.50 tires. So I'm thinking about getting 23x8.50 Ag tires for the narrow wheels and keep the turf tire as they are. Or should I get 23x10.50 Ag tires?

This is one of the age old questions, lbs per sq inch on the ground or more square inches of tire on the ground...
Depending on the size of your plows, a 10.50 may not fit down in the furrow when using a turning plow. I find that when tilling, cultivating and using a disk, I prefer a wide tire to help avoid packing the ground.

Also if I go with the wide Ag tires they would be my everyday set. I used to be into lifted high 4x4 trucks and we had similar debates about wide vs. skinny. .

Set some 10.5 and you'll never look back. I've had all from the small 6-12s to 26x12x12s and they all work. The 10.5s is what I have on 2 of my wideframes, my opinion they look the best on wideframe Cubs and will look the best on your newer Cub Cadet. Here'a a few pics of different AG tires, which brand Ag Tire is best I don't know - I like them all, maybe some better than others. I guess I'd buy Firestones or Tru Powers if money was not an object, most of mine have been from finding a deal here and there. Only ones I've bought brand new were the 10.5 Duros no the back of the Model 100

I'd personally go with the 10.5 assuming your attachments will cover the width. Good width (unless you had the fender flares), good stance, good performance. I'd also go with Tru Powers. The Firestone 23°'s are a bit better but not worth the extra $$. Good luck!

Also for some reason my narrow wheels have the valve stem on the inside and it rubs on the brakes, so I'd have to weld it closed and drill a new hole on the front side. .

I'll get some pics of it but the valve stem hole is on the side of wheel that mounts to the hub flange. I'm not sure what these wheels are from, but they're not Cub.

I think I read somewhere that those are Wheel Horse wheels.

You are likely right, I google image searched them and they look the same. In the first pic you can see the stem and the area that mounts against the hub flange.

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.
