Jinma 254 to decrease the chances of rollover

[acadian32]

Good day all,
I was wondering if anyone would have suggestions on trying to gain more stability to avoid / decrease the chances of rollover, a wider rear tire? / dual wheel? my Jinma is a 254 with full cab and I find it could be very easy to tip over and I have several places on our property that have angle driveway.
Thank you all for your comments / suggestions

1 option is to flip the inner disc on the rear wheels, this will increase the rear wheel stance by about 5" or 6".

yea like Tim said swap tires and turn them inside out

Thank you guys I was looking at that option this pass weekend as an option was not sure how much I would gain 5" yum interesting I will give that a shot but may end up going dual wheel ???

Good day all,. I was thinking about the rollover protection and I think I got it… I could have a custom 3 point hitch bar welded on axle wider then my tractor add 2 wheels/ tires this should work don’t you think? I have 2 new hubs at the house all I need is a steel pipe / shaft and the rest I could get done at the local shop.

Before you do all that, I would just try widening the stance of the tires and see how you like it. Here's a thread that discusses it in detail:
Rear Wheel Width Positions | CHINESE TRACTOR WORLD FORUMS

There are five possible widths for the rear tires.

That said, I have to say that when I got my Jinma I thought it was incredibly tippy, I still remember driving it the first day and wondering when it was going to capsize. I read about widening the tires and realized I should do it, but somehow never got around to it. Somehow over time I got used to it, and it doesn't seem nearly as tippy any more. It helps that I have a pretty good sense of where the limit is. I was driving it today and went right into a small sideways hill, and I thought to myself that eight years ago I never would have gone there. So they're not as tippy as they feel at first, you might just get used to it.

Thank you Quicksand will review that link, do you have a cab like mine on your tractor? I think this makes a huge difference top heavy feeling and I almost tipped it over on a slope no more then 20% that was a scary moment I'm sure I would not have been injured but the windows would have broken on impact for sure...

You might want to consider loading the tires. This will also add weight which is a good thing.

I agree Btown, how would be a good PSI for hose size tires ? rating on the tire is not always perfect one would think with a lower pressure decrease once again tip over right ? updated pic attached
