Branson 2810 Rear Wheel Question

[fishingbucks]

I have a 2810 with the solid extra wide track wheels and R4 tires. Outside rear width is over 72? I致e been trying to plow with two bottom plow but it won稚 stay in furrow. I can稚 get the point to be in line with edge of inner tire because wheel is so far out. I can稚 turn wheel around because it hits lift arm adjusters.

Does anyone know if they make spacers that will allow me to turn wheels around or where I may can find some narrower wheels with ag tires. If not, does anyone know the wheel bolt pattern?

I would also be interested in trading my set for an ag set.

You do any steel work, welding? I made my own for a 2400. Took one quarter inch steel plate stock and a diagram to a machine shop and they made 2 plates per side. Went to a pipe supplier and got a piece of 8" diameter pipe which I cut (or could have had the machine shop cut) to 4" length as for my application and tires that made my max width within 60" and my 5' mower would run within my tread width. Cost me less than 80 bucks for the deal.

I initially looked online and found some on ebay but weren't for my tractor and I figured I could do exactly what I wanted for a cheaper price. So I emailed the guy (through ebay) and he makes different sizes. Might give hime a look-see. By the time you figure what he has in making/selling them, his price isn't unreasonable. I don't have his address, just go to ebay and plug in "tractor wheel spacers" and go from there.

I'm not quite following your setup;
What size plows are they 2 by 14", 2 by 16" the width of the furrow should be at least as wide as your rear tire, The simplest setup would be;
then the leading point of the front bottom should be that far in from the inside of your tire minus an inch, so a 14"bottom should be 13" in from your inside tire edge.
Attached are a couple of manuals that may help you.
What make and model is your plow?

It痴 a Ford 2 bottom. Points are 12? I致e got the adjustment as far to the right as it will go. There痴 too much of a gap between the edge of point and inside rear wheel. Plow jumps out and starts plowing about a foot over to the left and leaves a strip of unplowed ground.

OK, it's been a while since I had to figure one of these out;
I am assuming that your tire is about 15" wide?
also that from the inside of the tire to the center of your3 pt or center of the top link is about 20"s.?
Also what is the width of your front tires, inside to inside?
If that is narrower then your rears it will throw your centerline off.
Does your 2810 have chains or adjustable sway/stabilizer bars?
The 12" bottoms going by the old rule of thumb should only be plowing 3-4" deep,
the center of draft or centered pull point would be around 14-16 " so the plow is not going to pull the best,
also with your tire being wider then the furrow it will be packing some of your plowed ground.
To start with can you get your tractor up on 6" blocks front and rear with the plow mounted?
at that point lower the 3 pt and with the plow just clear of the ground level it front to rear using your toplink,
then left to right by adjusting your lift arm lengths, now are your sway bars or chains preventing the plow from
swing left or right?
At this point what would the measured value be of the width between the front plow point and the inside of the tires?
We would be hoping for 12" but I'm guessing closer to 20". If this is so with all of the plows adjustment used there is one more thing to try.
Now unpinning your sway bars/chains can you swing the plows to the right to get the 12" measurement?
And repin your sway links to keep the plow in this position?

You may not be able to get your tractor setup narrow enough for two 12's two 16's or even 18"s would be a better fit.
But needing to use what's available is understandable, on those old Ford plows can the lower pins be flipped to move the plow sideways?
Sorry for being so long winded but good luck

Offsetting the plow this much will not let it pull easily and straight your tractor will likely be crabbing and needing some brake steering especially in hard pulling ground.
