"Junk in the trunk" doesn't sound right when discussing tractors.

I run my rear tires at what the manual calls 71.7" tread width. With an 18.4" tire that figures out to 90.1" overall width. Just outside of my 84" bucket. The inside of my front tires and the inside of my rears are the same width. This puts the outside of my fronts just inside the 84" bucket. Like TripleR I am on steep ground often. With loaded rears it makes the tractor extremely stable. Mine were set like he runs his when I got it from the dealer. I moved mine out one setting before I loaded them. Since each tire has 700lbs of fluid, it would be a CHALLENGE to move them after they are filled!!! If you are buying your tractor with loaded rears you might want to determine the width setting and have the dealer do that for you before he loads them.

How much of a difference, stability wise, do you think it makes with loaded tires at your 90" width, vs loaded tires at the minimum width, of 79"?
Obviously it is more stable at the wider stance, but I'm curious if it's a LOT more, or just a bit more? Hard to explain I'm sure.

I see this as an excuse to have a second tractor with fel and forks
Are you kidding me! I'm not going to be able to afford a rotary cutter until I save up a little more money. I plan on setting the rear tires out and filling them. Same on the front, but do you guys fill the front tires also?
