Hello friends,
I farm vegetables with a New Holland 1925. After much research I recently had help customizing my rims and tires to allow me the correct width to straddle a growing bed. The ag tires are now 5ft. on center, and the tires are slightly larger than the ags recommended for the tractor (necessary to accomodate these particular rims), which give higher clearance. Great. But when I got them on and tore out of the garage I found that a tight turn rubs the front tire against the upright of the loader. Not great, especially since that upright corner is very sharp and almost punctured the tire before I noticed it.
It's very close (in fact it doesn't look at all like it would rub -- seems like an inch or so in either direction would clear it) and so I cut out the sharp corner of the loader upright. Still hits it. Now, I'm not sure what to do. I invested a lot in these rims and tires, and can't go out any further with spacers (or get narrower). I'm wondering if I fiddled around with the toe in to see if that'll clear it? Any other ideas?
Thanks, Jeff
