Default 1450 wheel weights

Just purchased my first IH Cub Cadet! It's a 1450 that has: dual hydraulics, rear lift, sleeve hitch, wheel weights and a beast of a plow!. The first duty is for hauling a dump trailer and rough grading fill dirt. After hauling loads of fill dirt and dumping, should I use the rear wheel weights when I push the loose fill around? Not exactly sure the true purpose of the weights. I have many questions and will be posting more, but this is my first.....

Rear wheel weights help you get more traction. Ags will help. Or chains on turf tires. Use the weights if you need it. They won't prevent wheelies provided by overloaded tongue weight from the trailer.

Yea, the Troy Bilt was a fail from the start. The factory hitch was way too low and inset between the rear wheels. I welded a 2” ball to the bagger frame for trial purposes and basically made a lever arm! Had to push it to the limit to convince my wife I needed Cub.

Apparently, it's all about proper weight distribution

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.
