    New Cub Cadet Owner - HDS 3185 seeking info + tires

    The 24x12-12's I ordered worked great. However, the lug tread in that size would not have cleared. When selecting tires the operative issue was the mounted WIDTH. Carlisle's website shows this clearly. As long as you select with an eye to that you'll stay out of clearance issues. Good luck...

    Cub Cadet 3185 - PTO won't engage

    Started the tractor today (Cub Cadet 3185), after mounting new tires, and PTO will not engage. Checked belts - old but not broken, Idler -OK, vacuum actuator -OK. Any ideas? Removed side panel to observe actuator. All seems to engage except belts don't turn. Is there a clutch on front of...

    Gator blades on my 3185 with 48" deck / mulching kit installed.

    OK, now I am sold on the Gator Mulching blades. Just put a freshly sharpened set on my 48" deck with the mulching kit on my 3185 and wow! Can't see the leavings and a nice smooth cut. As I reverse directions across the yard with each pass, it striped out my yard like a pro. I am sold. Anyone...

    New Cub Cadet Owner - HDS 3185 seeking info + tires

    Thanks to all for the advice. Carlisle's site was great for calculating rim width, mounted width and height, etc.! I just ordered the Turf Trac R/S from Cedar Rapids Tire. Their shipped price was about $10 less than Tires unlimited on the same 4. The mounted height and width on the rear...

    New Cub Cadet Owner - HDS 3185 seeking info + tires

    I really would like a mid tread. Somthing more aggressive in the rear than the Turf Pro (Carlisle) that came stock, but not a full ag tire. I know that is asking a lot. Any ideas? M Gardner

    Hello all. I am new to the forum and new to Cub Cadets. I just purchased a used 3185 Cub Cadet with an 18hp B&S engine that was a new tractor trade at an implement dealer. It only has 189 hours on it and other than a few dings looks to be in excellent condition. Does anyone know information...
