When we get back home in the next two weeks I need to do some edge scraping (angle my box blade and make some water runoff ditches). My box blade is only 7ft and my tires width is 7.7feet.

So, can I take one set of tires off one side of the tractor and drive around for a bit without fear of bunging things up? I ask / do this as I am fat and lazy and do not want to take the other side off.

It would be a short term, yet repeated event.

Does your box blade off set any or will the other tires still be sticking out a few inches if your box blade is centered?

It won't hurt the wheel motors, just be sure not to overload the tires- I don't know what the ratings are on your dualie tires. Charlie runs singles most (all?) of the time.


All the best,
