Tire Selection
I'm contemplating the tire style for my 149. I'm considering dedicating this unit to a snow plowing tractor, and the option of going with the Firestone agricultural (AG) tire, or a turf tire with chains. I have never run an Ag tire with chains, or an AG tire on a garden tractor. Chains seems like a bad idea on this tire type, and I'm not sure if they will bite as good as chains on turf tires.
When I run chains on my 125 with turf tires it works pretty well. What do you think? Mike

This has been hashed to death. If it is going to be a dedicated snow rig, 1 turfs 2 chains 3 load the tires end of comments.

Well, its always fun to spend money on these tractors making then look better and all. I run turf and 4 link, wheel weights, 60#counter weight, me @ 212#, and have never had any problems, and we get snow here in ne ohio!
They have a special chain for ag tires, but also I have seen 4 link fit a ag tire a lot better than the 2 link will. Should I load my tires using tubes, I will use/recomend  Rim Guard. Its like 11# a gallon, and freeze resistant to like -35* .

Turf or AG's , it doesn't mater. Load the tires and use a good chain. And you get the same result . Ag tires only work well in dirt pulling a tiller, plow, trailer.

Depends on what you want to do: play in the dirt, ag tires. Mow or do anything where you want to minimize ground damage/disturbance, turf tires. Snow, turf tires with chains and weights or ag tires with weights and with or without chains, both will be about the same with snow it's whatever you have on the machine.
My vote goes for ag tires, though; looks sooooooo much better

IMO Carlisle tru powers are about the best tire you can get for an ag. Great traction year round and they arnt too bad on the turf. Another tire to look into maybe that may do good in dirt, grass and snow are Carlisle field trax or all trails. Plus they have that aggressive look too.

I was going to reply with something but sam mac beat me to it. Get another set of wheels and if you want AGS put on ags if you want turfs put on turfs. That's what I plan on doing with my 147.

Some day the GT world will move past the 1960's and into the modern world!
Bias ply tires look traditional, I will keep them on this tractor, the turfs look good, and do everything necessary on grass/dirt.  BUT, when you want to roll snow with a two wheel drive, modern radials really eliminate the need for chains.  NOTE: After my SIL rolled a truck on an icy patch, I do not go out if there is ice. I wait for it to melt, a perk of living in Virginia!

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.
