Default 1st time fluid filled tires
I decided to give filling the tires on my 100 a try, I bought a adapter and used a transfer pump, It was easy. I was only able to get about 3.5 gallons in each 6-12 tire but I'm sure any extra weight helps.

thats probably all they will hold, a 23x8.50 will only hold 6 gallons and there a good bit bigger.

I filled them until fluid came out of the bleeder on the fill adapter, or to the level of the Schrader valve. There wasn't much of a mess, I might have lost a cup or two on the floor.

This is a good fitting to use available from your local Napa:

And here is a pump to use if you don't have something already. It works with any drill so it'll do just fine for our tire size:

Mine looks just like the napa one except it's the tire slime brand, I got it at TSC.

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.
