What kind of front tire should I go with?
I'd like to make the same request... Kinda. My 982 has a blown front tire and I wanted some opinions on what would work best. Debating between a regular turf tires or maybe 5 ring AG tires. Not sure what the benefits or con's are on either one.

Depends on what you are doing. If cutting grass mostly, I'd get a set of turf tires. If doing ground engaging work, I like ag tires. Not that they are particularly functional, but I like the look.
If you put ags on the front, be prepared for some good-natured ribbing from the folks here who believe (perhaps rightly so) that front ags only belong on 4WD/AWD/MFD tractors. But it's your tractor. Don't listen to anybody else, do what you want!

I personally recommend the V61's from Miller Tire. Easy on ground yet the ribs provide good traction for turning in the winter snow. Plus they just look cool!

V61's for all the same reasons Ryan stated above.
I can add one more reason the V61's are better than the turf tires. It's easier to clean dog poop off the tread.

I like the narrow tri-ribs or narrow ags on the fronts. They turn a lot easier than the V61's and they give it more of a tractor look. Both have about 1" surface contact with the ground and steering can be done easily with 1 finger with no front attachment on.

V61 give better traction in snow and are easier to clean then turf but are they really better than 3 ribs or turf tire with a set of front chain for snow? All I can say for sure is they are better then the pair of small rib balloon's they replace on my 1650.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for all the feedback. I ended up going with the V61 6 ply as I plan to buy or build a loader for the 982 eventually. So I figured the V61's would be better suited for that.

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.
