Anyone put dual wheels on the rear of the 2520?

Thanks

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.

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.....

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.

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..

At that price, I'm glad I don't need them. JC

I bet tires and rims for back of the 2520 would be alot....

I thought of it for my previous unit a 4100, but chickened out.

Yep,. quite a lot!

It's not a JD, but I found a picture of a compact with dualies

Looks like it would be pretty stable

i work at a john deere dealership and in our wharehouse we have a set of bands and the hardware for it i asked another guy that has worked there longer than i have and he said that someone wanted to put front and rear duals on a compact then when he figured out the cost of the rims and tires the decied not to at the farm i worked at we had a 580k case loader backhoe and we put rear duals on it we had a welding shop make us a set of bands and it happend to be that combine rims were the right size and we have a tractor junk yard in town so we got a set of rims from them and painted them then we put the old tires on those rims got new tires for the inside and bolted them on at first we used grade 5 threaded rod but we changed to grade 8 fine thread rod if you need more info let me know

i know it can be done i have seen on here a post that someone put front and rear duals on a bota im not shure what section it is under or anything though

hope this helps
