Ok. Stop reading now unless you have time to waste.
I warned you.
My Kubota with AG tires had adjustable rims.
There is about 3-4" of adjustment in the rims.
I just bought wheel spacers that are 3".
Just on the science theory, which way would make the tractor more stable on a side hill?
Say the outer part of the tires touching the ground is 65" as a baseline with both settings.
With the "rim" sticking out past the end of axle or the end of the axle/spacer sticking out past the "centerline" of the tire vertically,
Causing a bit of cantilever. Which would be more stable in respect to the center of gravity overturning the tractor on a side slope.
Yes I know. Both is better.
Inquiring minds want to know. I know some of you will ponder this. **** OCD!
