Kubota L4400
I had dealer make the back as wide as possible, looking at the front looks like I could sway them from left to right and be a little wider up there as well?

Is this correct? I didn't see anything in the manual regarding this?
May need to read thru it again.

Zkubota... I thought about doing the same thing when I had a B7200 to get a wider stance. Started thinking about it and figured that the mfg had a set width for a reason. I think that with a FEL it would really stress the axle and bearings. Haven't seen it written that you couldn't, but going by the way the rears are listed as adjustable by bolting up different wheel/rim combinations and the front is listed as non-adjustable I would let well-enough be. I think you could get into trouble doing it and what you would gain, in my opinion, would be minimal for the risk

I am not familar with the L4400 but with my L3130 the front is not adjustable with 4WD only with 2WD. Your manual would tell you how if it is posible.

zkubota,

I've pretty much decided on the L4400 as soon as I sell my old Ford.
How do you like it so far?
Any troubles?
Learning curve?
How hard do you work it? I think it will have the power to replace the Ford, but one never knows...
