B3200/B3300 R4 tire/tractor width

[Tompet]

A question for anyone with a B3200 and also anyone with a B3300 with standard 54" bucket and R4 tires. Do the R4's make the tire/tractor stance wider than the 54" bucket?

I saw a B3300 and you can tell it had larger R4's (didn't have a tape with me), can you order it with the B3200 sized r4's. Did not show option on build page from Kubota website.
Thanks,

I'm not sure about the 3200 but the B3300 with R4s is 57.9 inches wide and 53.7 inches wide with R1s. This comes from their specifications. I have R1s on mine and it does measure 53.7 at the rear. As you can see, yes the R4s will make the tractor wider than the 54 inch bucket. I have the 60 inch bucket on my 3300 so now the bucket is about 6 inches wider than the rear track with the R1s.

The B3200 has the same engine and transmission as the B3300 so the smaller tires would work on the B3300. I think the dealer would have to change the tires out since it comes standard with the larger R4 tires. However, the front tires will have to be changed to the smaller tires used on the B3200 as well. Ask your dealer if all 4 tires can be changed out.

Thanks, bikerdib...I blew right past that on the R4 width when I read the B3300 specs. On the B3200 spec. sheet they do not break out widths the same.

When you go to build section on B3300 they only list smaller R4's (same as B3200) but when you look at spec sheet they list only larger R4's as you pointed out.

I missed that on the build site (about being able to order it with smaller R4s); but I wanted R1s anyway. So I assume you are looking at a new B3300?
