As part of my planning on getting ready for another winter of snow plowing I had this thought. Is there any advantage or disadvantage to having the rear tires on my tractor set to their outer position. Even at this wider position they would still be within the plowing path even with it at max angle. Just wondering if it would make any difference like helping maintain side to side stability. If it makes a difference my plow is mounted on the loader arms.

I have had them dished out and in for snow, and really don't notice a difference. It may be a little less prone to sliding sideways. It's much more stable on slopes, and the turn is slightly wider dished out, but compared to the plow truck it still turns on a dime. I encourage friends that have them narrow, set wider to take the extra safety margin if they aren't stuck in a application that demands narrow.

I've try it didn't notice difference other than little more room when putting on tire chains.
