Does he make them for other brands?? Does he have a website??

Your best bet is to contact Richard yourselves...see the email link in the above posts...

I also bought mine together with the ripper tooth. BroTek has the spacers listed for $260 alone but $220 with any combo of other attachments. That price included shipping. Yes, they are expensive, but it is a machined piece and high quality. I can say that Richard is prompt and I was equally as impressed with the ripper tooth as I was the spacers quality.
I also just installed the American Solutions grapple and wanted to give the tractor a test run. I keep staring at the new wheel stance because I can't believe how much 2" on each side changes the stance. I picked up a load of branches on a muddy slope and I never had that tippy feeling I've come to know. I did not feel any noticable difference in turning but my eye catches the rear tires sticking out further. So far I am happy with them, but I may also go the route of filling the tires for extra measure.

I'd call that more than fair for parts that nice...... especially if you price other company's wheel spacers. Definitely right in the same ballpark.

Thanks for posting the pictures of the spacers, and giving us an idea on the price. Snap a couple pictures of the tractor with them installed if you get a chance. That wider stance has to look good!

Well, I lied...I said I'd take pictures of the wheel spacers but I installed them tonight after working all day and they look great...got stuck in some mud today in a lady's back yard (or should I say "swamp" ) damned wheels were spinning like heck...4 wheel drive wasn't gonna get me out either...before I buried the hubs, I shut her down and luckily there was enough room to back my F250 down the hill in the back yard and I used one of my tie down straps to hook up and pull her free...whew! Didn't know what I was going to do but thank God I had room for the truck and the tie down strap...:D
After I clean the BX up a bit I'll snap some pics of the tractor with the spacers installed...

I mounted the Bro-Tek wheel spacers today and the tire spacing went from 44" to 49.5" out side to out side. It feels more stable using the bucket and I don't get that woops feeling when having the load at the outer edges of the bucket.
One other improvement is that I now have 5" of space between the tire and the side of the tractor frame. That will make it nicer when I mount the backhoe next time.
And as someone said you need a reguler socket to mount the wheel on the adapter, the heavy wall driver sockets won't fit.
All in all a very good improvement to the good old BX2200

Here are some pictures of the spacers & the stance also. He fabbed front spacers for me also, but not as wide as the rears. Richard is great to do business with - have his bash plates also but have not had time to install them yet. By the way, if you order them make sure to set the studs with a punch - some of mine were not pressed home.
