Call me a fool. I had my TC40 New Holland for almost ten years and FINALLY got around to widening the back wheels. What was I thinking. Years of living with a pucker factor every time is hit a slight slope. Made the whole experience, let's say, less than optimum?
I know, the wheels/tires are fluid filled. They are heavy. And I wasn't really sure I could handle them. But I did. And although it was a challenge, the end result was so worth it. Get a friend to help.
I suspect many others accept the wheel width as set by the factory. FORGET IT. That is just to ship them. Takes up less space.
A tractor needs to wide and needs to be sure footed. Factory settings suck. Wide is where it is at.
So, yes, I was a fool. But no more. I widened the wheels by flipping the inner dish. And I can now tackle that back field and don't have to worry about flipping it over.
Yes, I still need to careful. But to have waited so long. Sheesh.
So to all who haven't widened their wheels and are still living with those factory settings . . . stop it! Widen them out and begin to really enjoy your great tractor. It made me a believer.
But I'll reserve whether I'm still an idiot, because waiting almost 10 years doesn't make me look very smart!
Do it!
