My Cub came from a golf course and was used for trimming. I got the tractor...they kept the deck to put on a Kubota. I purchased the deck off of e-bay and did my own install.

Yep. lots of places with some pitch. I have been stuck on level ground on wet grass with the turf tires....and they s-l-i-d-e. Need the Bar treads and calcium. Southern Ohio mud could be used to lube the ball joints in your car...Same-same ...owlshit.

My AC tractor does just fine with calcium filled bar treads and I really get it it some shit.

I forgot about that God-awful mud. Only a couple-few inches deep, but you're stuck.

We get some pretty slick mud here, too, but when I'm doing the hills with the M Farmall, which is tall, and run into wet/muddy conditions, I call it quits until it dries out. No sense in digging ruts and I really don't want to sink one side and flop it over.

Also, for those conditions, check in to the 23 degree Firestones or similar. They're more aggressive in the wet/muddy conditions and they won't tend to dig you in like the 45 degree tires, in the event you do spin a wheel.
