Anyone put dual wheels on the rear of the 2520?

Thanks

Terry~!

Well since you've thought of it first...we'll just sit back and await the photos! he..he..he! I suppose though, that it would not be difficult, provided that the need justified the expense.
Maybe we should get Chris to try it...hey,...Chris...we got an idea!

it would be to wide to fit between my trees....:)
i am sure with the right spacers it could be done. sounds a little
extream if you ask me. things like that usualy reservered for bigger
machines. 50 HP and up...;)

Chris...:)

My dealer knows that I frequent these forums and called and asked if anyone had done it. I hadn't heard of it and the search turned up nothing so I thought I would ask the wise ppl of TBN.. :)

You must admit it would look awesome~!

I've seen dual rears on 4115s here in Kona in the sloped coffee fields. I'm told that the MMMs won't fit the newer models if the tires are set too wide or doubled.
So here's the rub: need wider stance to mow on hills, need MMM to have maneuverability in the coffee rows, but can't have both. I'd love to know if anyone can confirm or deny the MMM rub rumour.:confused:

The Tires if wide would hit the MMM. if you just cut the rear casters off the MMM and moved them out a bit and welded them back on. it would be no problem. I could fix this in a hour.....;)

Chris....:)

There you go... Now if Fred FedEx's his MMM to Chris for modification, we can all see the pics!

Unverferth sells dualing kits or will custom make whatever you may need. I've seen a seeding company run that ran duals on the front of a larger JD 4x4 tractor. Sorry, I didn't get any pics.

Sincerely, Dirt

Thanks Dirt and JC. They can make them. (very nice people)
I had to give them the rim size, center hole size, lug distance (center to center) from 6 to 12 o'clock and number of lugs.
Then they need the distance to the center plate as if the tire was laying flat on the ground facing as if it was being mounted..
Price was $408 a piece. Then you would also need the tires and rims.. :)
