RK 37 wheel spacing

[kkilli]

Figured I’d post these pictures in case anyone was interested. I ordered my 37 with R1’s and it came with the wheels spaced all the way in. Got a buddy to stop by and help me wrestle them around today so we could get them set out to their widest setting.

Gained close to 6 inches per side.

Nice job. I bet it was not fun moving the loaded tires. The rears on my Ford 1920 are all the way out too and are loaded. They are too wide for some of my narrow gates, so I will be moving them in a little soon

Sorry that you had to turn the wheels after you received it. Most customer preference is standard mounting. We routinely build wide when the customer requests that when they order the tractor. Hope that you get many years of reliable service from your RK37!

No worries. I didn’t know it was an option until after taking delivery and reading the manual. I wouldn’t mind making it even wider to help deal with my steep terrain but I’m coming up blank with all the wheel spacer manufactures. I’m not sure if anyone knows if the RK’s use a specific lug/wheel pattern that spacer manufactures could reference?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

That is one thing I've notice with all the tractor manufacturers. None of them list the maximum tread width in their specs. Sometimes it can be dug out of the depths of an online owners manual, but often it just simply isn't offered up. Many times if it does show re-setting them it doesn't tell you how wide that makes the tread width. I have 12 acres of billy-goat land that likes to grow blackberry briars, so I'm very interested in how wide I can set the wheels.

Edited to add: Can the fronts be spaced out any?

 

[Btown]

Fronts usually can be flipped to make them wider with AG tires.

 

[kkilli]

Yes, the fronts can be swapped left to right to make them wider. I just didn’t grab and pictures of it.

Can the industrial tire/wheel combo also be widened? Or only the ag tire/wheels?

 

[Btown]

I think the R4 industrials can go a little wider by swapping sides, but the AG tires have more options and go much wider.
