Outside width of XR4046HC?

[AaronS]

Can any of you 4046 owners tell me the exact outside width of the machine? I want to make sure I get a mower that covers the tire tracks. Thanks!

What type of tires? 72 inches will cover my xr4046c with R-4 tires.

I plan to go with ag tires - R1.

With R-4 tires the tractor is 69 inches wide . With the R-1 tires you should be about 61 inches wide. The R-1 rear tire size is13.6-24.

Thank you snowbelt.

Ok new question, can you adjust the width of the rear wheels on the 4046? The LS website says the "minimum" width with ag tires is 62.4, so that has me wondering if it can be adjusted.

I was told by my dealer yes by flipping the tire over. Putting the rim inside out.

Thanks again!

Happy to help

Dealer just told me that they can set the rears to widest width and they'll still be under 72", so a 6 ft mower will cover and I'll maintain stability. Looks like I'll stick with the R1s.
