I didn't see that, thats too bad, but it still may be worth a a call, it looks like they retro fit homeowner models for free in the UK, so maybe they will here if you call the and explain the situation and the potential for a roll over. They might surprise you and help out? Anyways, I hope it works out ok, but nice wheels! They should help quite a bit, where did you find those at? I'm sure this video is just the basics, but its all I could find on their site when I was looking for ROPS and your model, I hope its not offensive, you can probably operate your machine much better than these guys, but I thought it was interesting because I have not driven a zero turn, and I am considering one too. . Sorry I couldn't find more, I would still call..I did find a few that may fit on Ebay.

nice upgrade i have a timecutter also and have the same problem. i have been looking into doing the same to mine do you know the part number or item number for the spacers you bought and would you mind posting them

thank you

Spartan:
I cant give you a part number on the spacers, but if you search EBAY for 4X100 wheel spacers you will find multiple offsets available. I cant recall the name of the seller I bought mine from, but there are literaly hundreds. The 1.25 I think would work without the extra .25 inch I added, but if the tires run low, they widen out and might drag without the rider knowing.

Ok thanks i have been looking at them. Was also thinking about getting the Carlisle AT101 tires.

did the 22x11x8 tires fit into original 8" toro rim? What size rim you have on this now?

I doubt someone with 4 posts from 7 years ago frequents anymore, but as I understand and wish you the best of luck I would just go with the tires they went with and not worry about the width of wheels, just note they used wheel spacers to avoid the frame (which means the stock wheels were narrow for the new bigger tires, but it doesn't matter, it's not going highway speed...)

I've put ATV tires on a riding mower, the fact that the transmission went shortly afterward I don't think is even related since the mesh on the input shaft couldn't have been good with as much lash as it had...

I went with more aggressive tires for my Toro zero turn. I found that with the turf tires that even in the early morning with dew on the ground the tires would spin and cause ruts. If the ground was slightly wet I would get stuck.

Now I don't have to worry about getting stuck and I'm less likely to rut the ground.

I checked out the link and almost had a stroke! The $255 was for (4) tires.

$65 for a tire is actually pretty cheap. Almost any other brand is going to cost you at least $20 more with plenty closing in on $100 each.
