Finally got the 9 bolt hubs and pressed steel wheels and 15.5X38 rears on the M loader tractor and now the only thing I have to worry about is getting between gate posts on a 16 ft. gate. Set them out to 104 inches. That's with the hubs all the way in. Couldn't turn them around cause the weights wouldn't fit over the hubs if they were on the outside. Gonna be stable for these here hills down here that's for sure. Should quit diggin with those wider tires too. Been a good day in the shop, Harley

How wide is your front axle? Surely not 104 inches, which means it'll still "trike-roll" on you if ya have too much lift on loader on steep ground. I'm sure ya know this but be careful. Nothing about an M says "low profile" or low center of gravity.

I"ll bet the center of graviety on Harley"s M is lower than most utilities. Wheel tread is one of the most effective ways to lower graviety. Most of those dual wheel tractors will slide sideways down a hill before they upset. If your expecting a wide front to stop roll over, your dreaming.

Harley

Do you plan on chasing mountain goats with the M or leveling mountains? LOL

But it should be stable doing either one.

Glad to here someone has some stability in their life. I don't think I will till my teenage daughter grows up a little. Matter of fact tractors are about the only stability I have these days. Good to see your post Harley
