What are the pros and cons of setting your rear tires to a wider width? I have a Kubota L4400 and you can get them significantly wider by flipping the inner rim around.
My property is hilly and after reading a few of the roll-over posts I began wondering if I should do this. What will I lose in this transaction? Obviously the tractor will be wider and this will affect manueverability on narrow trails. I'm also assuming that this puts more stress on the axle. What else?
To get them at their widest would require remounting the tires on the outer rim (since the tires are directional). I don't think I'd go to that much trouble. I plan on adding liquid ballast to the tires so this would be a good time to do it since I'll have to jack up the tractor anyway.
Any thoughts or opinions appreciated.
