Any thoughts based on experience of how critical wheel spacing is when using a rotary plow?
The BCS/Berta rotary plow manual recommends wheel spacing with 36 cm to 40 cm (14.2 in to 15.8 in) between the tires.
Earthtools says Distance between wheels needs to be 16" to 18" measured from the inside of one wheel to the inside of the other), and the closer you get to 18" the better the plow will perform because it takes a bigger bite?
I have a BCS 749 with 6.50x12 wheels and tires, and the distance between the tires is currently 19 inches. I can get to 18 inches by removing one set of axle extensions and flipping the rims on the wheel flanges.
