What is the "ideal" spacing for these tires when using the double rotary plow? The one Berta manual I found online talks about using 5.00-10 tires, but I have what I have on my tractor.

I'm just now really plowing, whereas before I was making raised beds and swales, so I'd like to get it "right". I started with 6cm spacers under each wheel, which gave 39cm between tires. But I felt like the full 12" of the rotary plow wasn't engaging.
I removed those spacers, but 28cm the tractor wants to tip over.
Now I'm going to try 41cm and 51cm, the remaining combinations that aren't extremely wide.

I really don't know what is optimum, and I wonder if the tires / wheels just aren't too large.

I figured it out. 47cm. Anyone else with a Goldoni 128/140/144 Super Special might benefit from knowing this.

Just a note, as I go to set up another Goldoni Special for the rotary plow, this means 47cm space between the insides of the tires.
