I bought an M7060 cab model, 12 speed last fall, ordered and received three sets of 164# weights to install on the cast wheels. Works great.
Finally got the 7060 home

Like a previous poster said - "don't be fooled by the fuel gauge". My M6040 has a 18.5 gallon fuel tank. I fill it to the top of the neck after EVERY time I use the tractor. So when I go to use the tractor - I know the tank is completely full.
I can chip pine trees all day - the fuel gauge say I've used a quarter tank of fuel. However - when I fill it at the end of the day - it will take ten gallons. Chipping uses right at, a little more than, a gallon an hour.

Yes, go ahead and liquid fill. I prefer that to wheel weights anyway. The dealer refusing to move out the front wheels due to some policy is beyond utterly absurd. First, front wheel width has little or no effect in rollover potential because the front axle pivots in the middle. Second, if it came from the factory with provisions for moving the front wheels out it has to be OK.
It sounds to me like you have a belligerent, if not wrongly opinionated, dealer or person on the dealer staff at least. I would be just picky enough to have a conversation with my regional Kubota rep and ask about the wheel widening policy. If it is for real they should reveal WHY.

I moved them out as soon as I got home, took me all of ten minutes. I’m over it, and moving on!

Front & rear wheel spacing. Your new M7060 can't be that much different in wheel spacing than my 2009 M6040. My Op Manual show many, many offset spacings for both front and back wheels.
Rims dished in/out - centers inside/outside the rim tabs - there are eight offset spacing for my M6040 for both front and back tires. All are shown in my OP Manual - OBVIOUSLY approved by Kubota.

You are more forgiving than me ! Of course you do need to maintain the best relationship you can with your dealer and that is always a good thing, so long as he is not too belligerent.

Cast rear centers such as JHurt's M7060 & my M7040 don't have the option of as many wheel tread settings as the steel center dish type rear wheels. My M7040 operators manual only lists 4 not 8 rear wheel tread settings for pressed disk being 1420MM,1520MM,1620MM or 1720MM. Cast center wheel tread settings aren't mentioned in M7040 OM that I can see.

I did read in my OP manual yesterday that Kubota suggests only two sets of weights per side with cast wheels. I can't imagine that third set would cause any issues, but it gives Kubota an out if something were to happen.

You are correct! And my front wheels have no adjustablilty other than side to side.
