Cool.. The tires on yours look really close to the front of the fenders. My Kioti's (<--- in profile) look much farther away. Was just wondering if TYM puts on bigger rear tires or if it was an optical illusion.
I looked again and yeah, very close to the tires compared to yours. it's funny that I didn't even notice that before. The rears are 43 x 16.00-20. what size does your CK have? R14s also?

Mine are 15-19.5NHS R14T which are 40"-40.5". Yours are ~2.5"-3" bigger in diameter and a ~1" wider. Makes sense given the HP increase. I like the way yours fills the well :)

I don't know, I like that you've got that extra clearance for mud and sticks and such. haha. How wide is your track? I think I'm at 63" but I'll have to confirm. That was always a ? for me when I was comparing because Kioti (I think) only reports width with R1s. I never thought to bring a tape with me when I visited the dealer.

Right at 62".

Never said filled wells were practical, except maybe on Pro Touring cars :)

Congrats on a T474, it is a very capable tractor for it's size. Yours is the 1st one I've seen with R14's too.

speaking of that.......I thought I noticed some camber to the front wheels the other day. Was I seeing things or do they apply some camber to tractor wheels?

thanks.....loving it so far. yeah, I had to pay extra for the R14s but I think it was best choice for my application. It was a little wet on Monday when I was out doing some grapple work in a hilly area and I noticed the tread filled up a couple of times, but overall didn't really lose traction in a noticeable way.

Nice looking tractor, I'm sure it'll give you years of service and smiles. To those who break out the spreadsheet to try to find the right tractor I always say "go sit on the seat". If it feels right then the only question is if it'll have the HP needed to do what you want. Can't sit on a tractor that's not on the dealer's lot.
