I have a MF 1205 4 wheel drive sub-compact tractor.I am replacing the Bridgestone 5X12 AG tube type tires with 5X12 Titan AG tubeless tires. Do I still have to use tubes in the tires?

It would depend on if the rims are made to hold air or not. I use tubes in my equipment regardless to keep them from coming off rims if I hit something since these tires do not have a safety bead like a car tire to keep the sidewall in contact with the rim. Once these tires "burp" or loses a small amount of air suddendly due to being bumped off the sidewall they lose all air. ....

Boy those tires hold such a little bit of air any impact as EW pointed out and you probably have a tire loose from the rim. Which never happens near an air compressor and it if fully breaks loose can be a real pain to bet it seated back. Don't ask how I know on the rear wheel of my same Kubota as it has only happened twice. Glad pickup was near by each time for air tank run and run and run. The last time it broke loose totally. ....
