rear tractor spacing

[ironman1952]

I have a RX7320 with cab. The rear tires are about 1" too wide for my wheel wells. I cant find any info anywhere about how many inches or ??? that
rotating the rear rims will save me so the tractor will fit on my trailer.

I see videos and info on how to widen the rear tires but nothing about making it more narrow. I have the Kioti shop manual and it is written terribly, and the index is almost worthless.
I would like to know what the 3 different overall widths are with each possible variation of the rim.

Seems like a measuring tape job? Or dig up a service manual online, or talk to your dealer.

The above is the ONLY reference in the owner's manual and service manual that shows wheel spacing data. Notice that it illustrates distances from the wheel center line and not the wheel edge. The tire sidewall extension varies by tire selection also.

Fitting a trailer was one of my parameters when selecting a tractor. I ended up with the RX6620 due to its smaller tire width.
Other threads suggest the deck over trailers are the 'easy button' for hauling wider tractors.

Good luck.

Referencing the chart above, look at your tractor wheel setup. Determine the present configuration, based on wheel/ spacer/ bracket position. not by any measurement. This will tell you which configuration your tractor is in presently. Study the chart. Remember that some configurations require the wheels swapped side to side to maintain correct tread direction of travel.

In my calculations below, I assigned the following designations: A= 59.6"; B= 66.6"; C= 70.2" D= 63.3" (indicating wheel center line width from the manual).

Now, measure the width of the current configuration (outside edge of tread to opposite outside edge of tread). With that info, you can take the data from the chart to determine the total width of each possible configuration, based upon the width of your presently installed tire position, A,B,C or D.

Based on my calculations, here are the expected width changes for your RX7320.

Position A moved to
B= A + 7"
C= A + 10.6"
D= A + 3.7"

Position B moved to
A= B - 7"
C= B + 3.6"
D= B - 3.3"

Position C moved to
A= C - 10.6"
B= C - 3.6"
D= C - 6.9"

Position D moved to
A= D - 3.7"
B= D + 3.3"
C= D + 6.9"

Edited to add: that if your rear wheels are setup as "standard" (my position A), you are at the narrowest adjustable position possible, with the factory provided configurations. In my locale, the dealer always moves the wheel setup outward, for added safety, due to our very hilly terrain.

Hope this helps.
