We will take delivery of a Kubota L3800 Friday. Sold a Kubota M5400. On the M5400, to enhance stability we had the front and rear wheels set out as widely as possible. Worked well. The L3800 is more narrow--a little over 60" outside-to-outside for the rear R4 tires. I am already wondering about the stability of the L3800. We will have fluid in all four tires, a FEL with a pretty heavy 4N1 bucket, and will usually have something low and heavy on the back. However, I saw a reference to wheel spacers in a post on TBN. The poster was kind enough to send me the contact info for the vendor, and here is the vendor's web site: Kubota John Deere Compact Tractor Utility Vehicle Wheel Spacers My questions are whether or not any of you TBN members have installed wheel spacers on your tractor and, if so, (a) what is your opinion of how much the stability of your tractor was improved, (b) what width wheel spacer did you install and why did you chose that particular width, and (c) have you experienced or have you heard of anyone who has experienced any damage to the tractor as a result of the extra strain put on the axles, etc.? Thanks.
