    Ag tires for XT3 GSX

    Thanks for your thoughts. I appreciate the perspective. Maybe the two 50 lb. wheel weights and a little more weight added to the hitch that's easily removable will do the trick.

    Ag tires for XT3 GSX

    I actually like the idea of being able to add or subtract weight. To me, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to carry weight year round. Most of my mowing is on the flat so I really only need the extra traction for half the year when I’m towing my firewood trailer around, blowing snow, or plowing the...

    Ag tires for XT3 GSX

    Wow! These are substantial. I can see how they would improve the traction. Can also see why you wouldn’t want to be taking them off and putting them back on unless you really had to. Thanks for the reply.

    Ag tires for XT3 GSX

    That’s interesting. Had trouble finding this one in summer ‘22. I thought it was just that I was late in the season. Has Cub replaced this model with another that’s capable of pulling ground engaging attachments?

    Ag tires for XT3 GSX

    The GSX has the BDU-10 to a cast iron transmission. I would hope it’s able handle the extra weight - though I don’t know how that system compares with the drivetrains on the older cubs. The owner’s manual is no help. There’s nothing on weight or towing capacity. Wheel weights listed as...

    Ag tires for XT3 GSX

    Thanks. Wondered about that. I’m guessing the hitch weighs about 50 lbs. Thought that would do the trick - maybe not.

    Ag tires for XT3 GSX

    I’m wondering if anyone has tried changing out the original turf tires and rims with agricultural wheels on a cadet. I don’t see an OE option for my XT3 GSX but wondered if this type of aggressive tire is available in 23” and if it would be an improvement over the original turf tires and chains...

    Thanks for making the connection. New Bedford is not far from us at all. It never fails: Hay is always ready on the hottest day of the summer. I usually work alone so I’ve developed a system where I attach forks to the bucket of the Massey, and stack 8 or 9 bales at a time on a pallet. I hoist...

    Certainly! When the xt3 comes in, I’ll take a picture side by side with the 382.

    Thanks! I wish it were a bit cooler. We’ve had a few weeks in the mid 90s - I count my blessings that it hasn’t topped 100 like it has in some many other parts of the world. Bought some hay yesterday and put it into the loft. Nice work for a hot day.

    Greetings

    I recently purchased an xt3 gsx with a “48 fabricated deck, snowblower, and soft cab. In fact, it will be ready for pickup this week. My wife and I live in an 18th c. home on four acres. I do all the restoration work myself, and am constantly carting materials from the truck to the barn, and...
