Pretty good ways from DFW, Texas
Tractor
Kubota L2800 4wd, FEL
L2800, ag tires, believe it came from dealer with rear tires set 47 inches on center apart, what benefits will i get if i go to the widest setting, will it feel a lot more stable, not that it doesnt now, but was just looking at my manual about tire width and was wondering what other l2800/3400 owners have their rear with set at.

The answer yes , does make it more stable , but the FEL bucket and a BB will not cover the tire tread marks , in other words when using BB to grade or FEL to back drag some of the tire tread marks will not be covered or smoothed , not much though just about 1/2 inch or so on both sides .
I do have mine set at widest width and could tell stability increase immediately upon doing it .

Setting tires to widest on our L2550 made a HUGE difference in stability. Should have done it years ago. The trade-off is that mower doesn't quite cover the tracks...
