Hello again,

I wanted to flip my front tire around to make my tractor have a wider foot print and be inline with my rear tires. Is it ok to rotate from side to side and put the tires on the opposite sides. Put the dished out side of the tire out?

Thanks

If its a two wheel drive ok. If four wheel, your self-cleaning for mud might be worse, depending on tread style.
Either way, you won't change your stability much, as the front axle follows the grade. The rears set the attitude of the machine until you're over against the front axle pivot limit blocks.

You will also increase the load on the king pins and and wheel bearings.
