Try chains. They work wonders for me. I've gone just the opposite route as
the rest of the respondents. I bought a 71 (or somewhere around there by
the S/N) Cub Cadet 126 lawn tractor. 12 HP Kohler, 48" deck. It came with
a plow, blade, and disc. This thing is absolutely indestructible. Most of
the frame is 1/4" steel. The deck is massive. The motors been bored .040
over and the head was shaved for truing (don't remember how much) and it
just chugs away no matter what I do to it. The only problems I've had are
when I get in the mud the weight sinks it quickly (the chains just let me
get stuck deeper :-). It used to be a very poor climber. Probably due to
the 30 year old tires, but the chains make it climb anything. There's one
spot in the yard, that is always wet from a spring and it's a steep hill,
that I need to lean back to get more weight on the drive wheels for it to
keep moving. BTW, I live in WV, where we consider the land level if you can
put a ball on the ground and it doesn't roll away :-)
