I have a 2005 L2800 with Industrial tires, (R4's I think they are called) can I widen my wheel base. It seems to me that the manual states it can only be done with the AG tires but I don't understand why.. Seems like it is a matter of unbolting the wheels and spinning the disc behind them to a wider stance and rebolting.... Will this work with my tires???

Wow, you're a patient man to wait 2 years to bump a question.
I don't know your tractor, but if the disc can be spun around, you should still be w/i spec of your tractor's capabilities. After 2 years, I'd just go ahead and try it. The other option might be to swap the wheels from one side to the other. I've read here about 4 different settings between the cup of the disc and the position on the rim (mounting is closer to one side than the other). Whether that fits your tractor or not, I cannot say, but if you need it wider, I'd jack it up and give it a shot.

2 years! 
Most of the R-4 rims on these smaller tractor are a one piece rim. Is yours this way? Only the AG style two piece rim and disk can be adjusted in and out. Another reason to like AG tires...

R-4s on the smaller Kubotas come with a one piece rim. Some of the larger models have the two piece rim with R-4s.
Thanks for the input, I will take a look and see if I have the one piece wheels or not. 2 years, haha yeah I was going through my old post and noticed I never got an answer to this one. Hasn't been a big deal but I recently got a backhoe attachment and noticed it making things a little more top heavy so thought I would readdress this. My B7500 had widening options with pins in the axle stubs but didn't see how this one would do it. Thanks again.

I have reversed the rears on my 2550 as I have the two piece rims. If your tires are loaded I recommend you have a second tractor with a loader to work the tire lest you spend the rest of your life under it. .

I have a L3700 (same frame as the 2800) and the wheels are one piece. Also what kind of backhoe did you get?
