bx 24 wheel spacers

[hdbear]

Been looking at wheel spacers for my bx,any advice on cost or function on these.Do they make the tractor more stable?Trying to reduce the pucker factor.

In a word...yes? BroTek sells them.

I put them on this Spring and it feels better. Not doing anything different but should have more margin. Weighted tires, so the dolly helped to just roll the wheel away without needing to lift it.

Thanks for the photos,I can see the difference in the stance,how much did it cost for all 4 of them?

I don't know the price of the wheel spacers, their website (Bro-Tek: Tractor Add Ons) doesn't show current prices. Also, the site doesn't show they sell wheel spacers on the homepage. To view information on the spacers, open one of the products they advertise and click on their PDF info packet. Scrool down the .pdf and you will see the other products they offer. One important item I did notice is if you have a MMM. The wheel spacers will only work with 60" MMM's.

They are rear wheel spacers. $260 the pair including shipping when I got them. $220 if combined with some other Bro-Tek offering.

My BX23 is quite stable so I don't see any reason for wheel spacers.
Is the BX24 less sure footed than a BX23?

its the same- you just dont have any hills like we do or attempt to drive on hill in awkward position..

The best safety item I ever bought for my tractor. Makes it MUCH more stable.
wotalota used car dollies to move his loaded tires - wish I had done that - my old back ain't like it used to be.

agree with what's been said and the rear spacers made a big difference for me. Liked'em so much I went and bought the front spacers. Not sure if there has been much more improvement with those.

I stay off such spots.
lots safer than spacers.

I put a set I got directly from kubota on my B3030. My main purpose was to increase the clearance for chains. The added benefit is that it made the machine much more stable on hilly ground. I would recommend them for any machine.

Are you all getting your spacers from Bro Tek or is tere another vendor?

Out of curiosity how are you determing added stability; seat of pants, degree indicator...?
