DAMAGE DUE TO REAR WHEEL SPACERS

[AStanton]

Without rear spacers, I wouldn't be able to put chains on my B3030. No problems at 200 hours.

I would never add load to the outer wheel bearing on the front. In my mind the stability gained by the front width does not justify the transfer of load. If you never used the loader, you may well get by with it but when you add heavy weight to the loader with a wider stance, you add it all to the outer bearing. You want to avoid making a bearing a fulcrum point.

1000 hours with rear spacers going over rough ground with lots of weight on the back and not even a hint of trouble. One of my top rated add-ons for the BX-24.

Hi. Could you say where you purchased yours? Bro TeK seems to offer them only for BXs. Thanks.

I have about 40 hours on my rear spacers - noticeable improvement in stability. I highly recommend Bro-Tek spacers - a well designed and built product complete with all hardware and detailed instructions, and outstanding service to boot from Richard.

300 hours on these and no problems as of yet. Also ag rims set to the widest setting.

I have to disagree on the front end width mattering. When a tractor flips on it's side the center of gravity has crossed over the line drawn from the outside edge of the low side rear tire and the front tire on the same side. The wider the front end is set the further tipped the tractor can be before the center of gravity gets to that line. And yes this even counts when the front end swivels on a center pin.

Hello All,
I bought the Bro Tek spacers for my John Deere 3400 front loader due to the hilly terrain i have to work in. Flipping the rear wheels and adding the spacers made a world of difference in my opinion. It gave me an overall added width of about 8.5". I was able to flip the front wheels and gain about the same as the rear, but no need for spacers there. The spacers went on quite easy and I was able to do the job in about 45 minutes by myself. I would recommend the wider base for anyone working on sloped ground. Richard at Bro Tek was cool about answering my numerous questions. Check em out. Bro-Tek

Has anyone used spacers along with load tires ? on a BX

The front end wheel spacers aren’t going to make any difference until the back is already lifted and the front hits the bump stops.
