Rear wheel spacers on a B2920?

[xerman]

I have a B2920 and it feels tipsy even on a slight incline.
I checked with Kubota about rear wheel spacers and was told they are not recommended because they may interfere with the 60" MMM deck.
I checked with Richard at Bro-Tek (who seems like a great guy by the way) and he said he has sold a number of 2" rear spacers to B2920 customers and never had a compliant.
My questions are:
Has anyone put 2" rear spacers on a B2920?
Have the spacers caused any problems interfering with the MMM?
Have the spacers improved the stability of the tractor?
Are the spacers worth the money?
Thanks for any opinions/inputs.

I contacted Kubota about the wheel spacers they carry for my B2920. I also have the MMM and I have the R4 tires on mine. He said the spacers would not work because of the R4 tires. This was info that came with the 1 1/2" wheel spacers sold by Kubota. I also have the 60" MMM.

My B2920 seemed quite tipsy when I first got it. It never actually tipped I was just not used to sitting so high up on something like that on an angle. I have both the FEL and BH so I do have to be more careful. After 80 hours I will tell you I have found its a lot more stable than I thought, I have lots of slopes and some that would certainly flip it but I'm quite comfortable on it now. Per advice received here on the forum I am quite careful about FEL height when turning or on slopes. Also my rear tires (I have R4's) have 600 lbs of beat juice ballast. Now slippery conditions on slopes that's another matter.

I'm thinking about the factory spacers on my 2920. I don't have a MMM. So the spacers should work with my R4 tires, correct?

If I remember correctly, the factory spacers were only 1 1/2" each. I can't remember if he quoted me a price but if I didn't have a MMM, I would rather go with some spacers that were a lil more wider. That's just my opinion. I have the front loader and the backhoe and it really makes me think when I get even on a lil bit of a slope. I was used to using a BX2660 and it was lower to the ground and didnt seem too top heavy.

 

[Howard92]

But the factory spacers would work with R4 tires if you didn't have the MMM?

 

[Kelsir66]

The spacers would work fine. Only reason they would not work for me is because of the MMM.

 

[Howard92]

Thanks for the info. I plan on getting the factory spacers in the near future and just wanted to make sure there wouldn't be any "surprises".

I know this is an old thread, but can anybody explain what on the mmm interferes with the wheel spacers mod?

I have the 60 in mmm on my B2620. Thanks.

I have wondered the same thing about the MMM interferance with wheel spacers.
