Dual wheels

[Hearn3780]

I have a mx6000 Kabota tractor cab and air and was wondering if any body has put dual wheels on the back to keep it from turning off while you are on a slop since it is so top heavy thanks , if so where do they sell the dual wheel kits

dual wheels?

The rear wheels on new MX tractors are spread adjustable with both R1/ag and R4/industrial tires.

I suggest you experiment with spreading your rear wheels first. No material cost.

As jeff9366 suggested put the wheels to the widest setting but I am curious as to the machine shutting off. Is it perhaps due to the seat safety switch being too sensitive? You might need to adjust it slightly. Or do the more modern tractors have electronic gyroscopes in the computers to keep them from operating on slopes that are too steep?

Or did you mean turning over?

Turn over

Unless you have very flat ground, have your dealer get an axle in stock, there's a good chance you will need it.

This may be great advice, or not. Do not know.

BUT I do know that people say things without anything to back them up.

Would duals add some stress to the mechanism? Almost certainly. Is this a significant difference? Don't know.

IF I needed to use duals I would do it. Take my chances like others that do the same do.

Better to break the tractor than break your neck. The way I look at it...

Some ag tractors have option of heavier bearings, axles for running duals. Biggest consideration is running the duals with low air pressure so they are not carrying the weight all the time. I typically ran half the pressure of mains or less in the duals.

if not row crop you can also decrease spacing between mains and duals

Go for it, some people have to learn the hard way... lol

Duals on a tractor smaller than a rowcrop machine is going to have to be an aftermarket proposition with hub duals. Companies like Unverferth make hub dual kits for rims as small as 24", intended to be used for front duals on rowcrop tractors with rear duals or triples. I don't know how well your MX6000's axle would like to have duals put on it, though, that would add quite a bit of stress to them.
