My backyard is really quite steep before you get to a more level grade on the bottom. The cub climbs up and down with no problem at all but I'm still a little worried about the front end lifting. I was hoping to find another weight solution before having to spend the cash on a bracket for the front of the tractor to hang weights on. Is loading the front tires a good idea?

Yikes, how steep is that back yard? Personally, as long as you're not doing any sudden acceleration up that hill, I wouldn't worry too much about it. The front end has some good weight on it already. But if you think it needs more weight, filling the front tires could be an option. I wouldn't see it adding a whole lot of weight, but at that point, a pound is a pound

Go up the hill in reverse.

HAHAHA Not quite sure I can push the cart up that way. I'm already not the best driver when it comes to backing up carts

Go for it, it sure wont hurt. You'll probably add 25-30 lbs to the front.

I think I'd try to fabricate a home made bracket and some logging chains wrapped around at the least before loading the tires. I don't think it would hurt to load them, but I would try something else first.
I have a section in my back yard that I have to back my tractor up (Kubota B 2920) you couldn't dream to go up it. However you can mow across it sideways with one of our walk behind Exmarks, but those things are goats with wheels.

I think I like the idea of a front bracket with suitcase weights over the loading. When the weight (and heavier steering) isn't needed, you can lift the weights off. I'm not sure to front tires loaded would cause much steering distress but I like being able to remove the weight or add some when needed.

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.
