Hi guys - forgot to ask in my other thread - can the wheels be used either way round?

The reason for asking is that our land slopes a fair bit and by mounting them the other way it widens the track of the tractor a fair bit and makes it more stable when travelling across the slope.

It may have had them on reversed when I bought it as there are remnants of the wheel weight brackets that have rust welded themselves in place on the insides of the rear wheels!

Yes you can run the wheels reversed to increase the offset and give you a wider stance. Swop the wheels side to side to keep the tread going in the proper direction you have Ag tires.

Hmm...I have some harsh terrain too (flipped an older mower). Is there a down side to doing this?

Mows worse?
Harder on bearings?

How long does this take - 30 minutes to flip tires? I have jacks, air tools, etc.

I believe at maximum width, the rear tires will interfere with the rear guage wheels on the deck of MMM.
