CUB CADET 7233 TIRES
The Cub Cadet 7233 tractor features a versatile tire configuration, with Ag tires (5.00-15 front and 11.2-24 rear) ideal for agricultural applications, providing good traction in soil and uneven terrains. The Lawn/turf set (25x8.50-14 front and 13.6-16 rear) ensures a smooth ride on manicured lawns, minimizing turf damage. However, switching between tire types may require additional setup time and could affect load-carrying capacity depending on the application.
