Tires Tires

On the Kama TS354C that I bought I was thinking on switching sides on tires so I can flip them around to give me a wider wheelbase and adding wheel weights. Any words of wisdom? I use it in the hills so it couldn't hurt I would think.

Hi Mike, I've done this with the front wheels of my Jinma 284.
However, it was not a good move because I have a front loader bucket that is now narrower than the width between the wheels. Harder to get into corners with the bucket to clean up loose stuff. You also have the air valves on the inside of the wheels. Having pointed out those observations I've frightened myself a few times on uneven surfaces having the feeling the tractor is going to roll. I understand your concern, if you don't have a FL then I would definitely go for it if I were you. All the best Andy

Go for it! I did my Farm Pro 25 hp 4x4 on the rears only and it is a lot more stable. I not only switched sides (to keep the tread lugs going the right way) but also put the rims on the outside of the hubs for even more width. I have had no regrets.

I did the same as VAVTX on my 284 and it does help a lot. Turning the rims around will give you an even wider stance as was stated by VAVTX. I have an FEL so I didn't do the front.
