My rears are at an intermediate setting and could go 2-4" wider. I am considering my options on trying to get them to their widest position. It seems to me I could just swap the left and right tires to be able to bolt them at the widest position. That way I would not need to turn the tread around etc.
The easiest way I can see doing this my self is by using either the bh or nabbig a set of jacks some where. once the tractor is properly raised put it on stands/blocks that would hold the back end. probably keeping the bh leggs out so it can be an emergency stabiliser. putting together either a steal or wood dolly mechanisim that would have 2 pairs of uprights 1/4 the way in from the end of the tire that would go down to a platform with wheels on it. it would have boltable blocks that would keep the tire captive but free to roll wile the dolly is there. the dolly would be able to keep the tire almost verticle and from tipping. the only problem with this arraingement that I can see is I dont know how much force it will take to roll that tire since it is filled(900? lbs). I have seen several ppl mention just borrowing/getting a 2nd tractor and swapping that way. for me that is not an option right now and having it done by the shop will be somthing like 300$ before it reaches the shop door.
Does this sound feasable or are there things i am missing since I have not dealt with tractors before.
