I have spacers on my JD 1025r but no matter what you have done on your tractor it doesn't hurt to see what someone else has done to theirs's. I never thought about marking the spacers on mine which is a good idea. You always learn things no matter how much you think you know. Thanks for the video.
I put Bora wheel spacers on my 3038e and instructions said Do Not use locktite . Torque to proper foot-pounds per your tractor specs. Have never had issues with loose lug nuts.
Good morning and Merry Christmas. Yes, I am aware that the instructions did state no Loctite. I simply made the decision to do it anyway, given my horrible experience previous. Plus, with the tires filled, I certainly dont want to have to take them off to retorque. That said, you may be right. Maybe it was a bad move. Thank you so much for watching!
Do you run a mid mount mower? Any clearance issues with the mower if you do run a mmm? I hardly ever use my 60" mmm but wanted to put 3 or 4 inch rear spacers on
Hi and thanks for watching! I do not have a midmount. Two reasons; first the when I compared the cost of a MMM vs purchasing a separate machine led me to buy a JD X350. Second, I did not want to put the mowing hours on the 2038R. I think you will be okay with a 60 inch MMM clearance but will have an issue with a smaller deck. Frankly I’m not sure. I would visit a DEERE dealer and do some measurements.
Wheel spacers aren’t the answer alone……. Nothing replaces good judgement and common sense on where to put your tractor and where not to put your tractor
Gene you are so right. Rear ballast, wheel weights, carrying your load low and good dose of caution and common sense. Great comments. Thanks so much for watching and Merry Christmas!
🤨Best advice i can give is know your surroundings and Go SLOW.! It will save you a lot of headaches and possibly your life.! 🤔 ✳️Spacers are Awesome.!✳️ 👍
You just touched on my biggest weakness! Whenever I do something STUPID and I look back...it almost always was because I was hurrying. Thank you for watching and Merry Christmas!

Hi Steve. You are so right. I too have learned so much from watching others. By the way I loved my 1025r! Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas!

You cant "idiot proof" everything.
Boss you are SO right. I simply try to mitigate stuff happening wherever I can. Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas!
Use real working shoes, just a safety advice ;-)
Hi Fabian. You’re observant! You’re also right. My laziness. Love my crocs but not for the shop. Thanks for watching!
