BRMyers: you make a great point. The spec sheet for the RK37 shows a total width of 55 inches. However, when I measure my tractor with the R4 tires, I get 66 inches on the total width. I wish RK was more specific about how and where they take their measurements/specs.
How tractor specs are measured by a manufacture is why it is challenging comparing different tractors just off the specs. They will give you the basic knowledge you need, but going and testing them and seeing them in person is what makes that final decision. A tractor may look really good by its specs, but when you actually sit on it, you may find out it just isn't right for you.
Anyway, the 5 or 6 ft mower will work for you and ultimately, it is which everyone will make you happy and fit your budget.
