Old and CNKS have good valid points and I would probably utilize their advice.

One thing popped into my brain as I was plowing my garden yesterday. Sometimes I seemed to get hung up... unlevel field - drawbar getting caught up on the hills. This would literaly stop the Cub up cold. However, a lighter touch on the depth lever and occassionaly lifting the hydraulics up gave added traction and I could carry on.

I would suggest you practice "floating" the blade by gently and lightly lifting/dropping the blade to get added traction.

As for Old's duallies comment -- wheel horse and a couple other has spaceers adapters to add a second tire. My mentor GeorgeW, suggests large washers and longer bolts etc., to add a second set of rears.

I would look for a post by George W and email him. He can also be found on the Cub forums..
