Rear wheel spacers on a B2920?

[penguin]

I put the Bro-Tek 3" spacers on my BX-25. It changes areas of sheer panic into moments of concern. I DO NOT have an mmm. I use a rotary cutter. Bro-Tek does warn that it will interfere with small mmm. I have the industrial tire.
The spacers are drop dead gorgeous as a machined piece. Went on without a hitch. I like them. Also did the armoured plating undersides.
They ship fast.
I would do it again....Ken

guess I would get an inclinometer (sp?) and see if the angle on the hills was really that bad or just perception because of driver position. If memory recalls, these gauges were priced a bit over $30 and would be cheaper than spacers which are a bit pricey....just saying!

I have a B2920 with a 60" MMM and checked with Bro-Tek about adding 2 inch rear wheel spacers. They advised to measure the distance between the rear wheel on the tractor to the rear wheels on the mower deck. When I checked mine it looks real questionable if moving those rear wheels out 2 inches are going to hit the rear wheels on the deck.
At this point I am holding off buying the spacers and hoping to hear from someone that has tried it and can confirm that it doesn't create a problem.

Thanks xerman. I'll wait til next spring to put the mower back on and check spacing for the mower wheels.

I've got a B3030 with cab and not only understand that "tippy" feeling I've had the misfortune of tipping mine over on it's side. MAJOR PUCKER FACTOR to say the least and I don't recommend anyone else trying that at home. I've got 12.4-16 R4's on the rear that are now loaded with Rimguard ( beet juice ) and the front end loader will not go on my tractor before the 5 foot box blade is on the rear too. I've figured it out now that the front end being narrow is at least half the culprit in this type of tractor too with it's high center of gravity. Anyone wanting an "inclamintor" gauge simply needs to buy a magnetic "angle finder" and attach it where you can see it, but I doubt it would help because when you reach that point where it wants to tip it's to late.
I haven't thought about the spacers until I started using my front mounted snowblower and used it on areas of my yard with some slope to it that I easily get that creepy pucker factor going especially if the
front tires happen to slide sideways a little. Now I'm going to do some measuring with the point brought up about the mmm which I have and use too. I never gave the deck wheels a thought only worried about the offset putting the tires outside the cut width the deck covered. I'm sure if Kubota only offers an 1-1/2 spacer from the factory the 2 inch definitely won't work. The spacers are definitely pricey and with loaded tires it would be a chore to take them off to be able to mow if a person used it for loaded work often too.
