Bought a new B2920 w/R4 tires, FEL, 4' bush hog and 5' finish mower last Fall. It's my first tractor and I've been very happy with it.
I mainly use it to mow our 2 acre yard and to clear and maintain some very rugged mountain land we own. I knew before I bought it that I would probably want more stability when we use it up in the mountains due to the rocky and steep terrain, but I thought I would try it first as is. I have taken it very slowly and it is more stable than I anticipated, but I have had it up on 2 or 3 wheels a couple of times. So now I am thinking about wheel ballast or wheel spacers.
Wheel Ballast - This seems to be the most common way that folks add stability, but I's concerned about the added weight tearing up my grass when I mow the yard.
Factory Wheel Spacers - I'm leaning towards this option, but they they only add about 1-1/2 on each side and I wondering how much help that would be vs tire ballast.
Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Howard
