Tires Tires spacing out

[meledward23]

On my TC-55DA with the tires placed normally, I have a hard time attaching implements as the arms will barely make 90degrees from the frame of the tractor without rubbing the tires. So I have the tires flipped so now I have plenty of space. The downside is I need a deckover trailer for this setup as the tractor is now 83 1/2" wide (1+1/2" wider than a typical between axle trailer) I may have the numbers off, but the end result is just over an inch wider than what a inside axle decked trailers width is. (did that makes sense

Anyway, are their spacers, or something to enable me for a happy middle?

This isn't a critical problem as I have a 20' deck over goose, but It doesnt have a dovetail, those 6' steel ramps are heavy, and the backhoe likes to dig a small hole in the ground when I load it on the trailer due to the angle.

Your operator's manual should give you all the information needed regarding track width settings. Between the wheel dish and the attaching lug locations on the rim there should be numerous options.

You can get 4 different spacings just by attaching the inner hub to the wheel using different configurations. 2 ways your tires can stay on the same side of your tractor, the other 2 ways you will have to switch sides with each tire. I can not find words to explain each position but just stand beside your current configuration and you will see other options. Your present way is the widest position and the way it came was the narrowest. Good luck Frank

Thanks for the replies... I don't recall ever reading anything about that in the manual. Guess I will have to read it again tonight and then stroll out and take a look at it tomorrow. Not to hard to work on those tires when you havea backhoe to pick the whole rear end up. Now I just need to call in all those favors to get a few backs over here to make sure the tire doesnt ermmm squish a person.

Thanks
