Thank You for a great video. You addressed the what can happen on even ground, Fortunately I did not roll over but my BX was on 3 wheels & got my attention very quickly! I will be adding spacers!
I Have the Bro-Tek spacers on both the front and back of my 25d and I'm really pleased with them. I also have the skid plates by Bro-tek and they are every bit as well made and effective as the spacers. I had the dealer install them when the tractor was new and they work very well and are no problem when it comes to servicing.
I also had a roll over and then I bought the 3in spacers from the same company I love them I use my BX 2200 heavy in the woods now my tractor is very stable I recommend every guy with a small tractor to buy them they are very very worth it. I also heard that you'll knock your bearings out you'll break an axle but so far it has not happened and if I break a axle or a bearing it's well worth from being rolled over and possibly getting killed
Going from OEM to 6 inch wider stance must really feel different. You can't put a price of safety and I'm glad you're happy with them. Thanks for the info about the flange matching up, didn't really think about that. Nice job!!
Saw on one of your videos you got your BX at Cahaba Tractor that's where I got my bx25d and my k-008 mini ex too. I live about 25 minutes north of there in Gardendale. Cool. I like your videos and I'm a subscriber. Keep them coming.
+Wesley Goode hey neighbor, I'm over by Pinson. I've been really pleased with Cahaba Tractor, Bryan was my sales guy and has always been there for issues after the sale. Thanks for watching, subscribing, and commenting.
+daveknowshow Yeah, I want to do some more clearing this fall/winter which is on a hillside so I figured the wider stance should keep me a little safer.
Very nice looking spacers i like to put 2" on my Kioti i think it will clear the deck i dont think 3" would fit ? and you where lucky on the roll over you was close to that tree ! glad you and the tractor made it out OK ! take care and have a great weekend ! Curt
+Kioti CS2410 Thanks Curt! I was lucky that me or the machine was hurt. I will be doing some grapple work in my front yard on the hill so it should be a good test (still going to keep things low and slow).
If you ever run into that problem again with the bolt sliding too far up the socket. Try a piece of paper. Hold it over the socket and push the bolt in to the socket. It should hold it enough so it doesn't slide all the way in.
Sorry, I do not have that info. Might check out some of the Kubota forums. The BXer facebook group and use the search group feature will get you what you need.
A good steel spacer i used in any width you want is made by www.thetrackscompany.com as for the question of added stress on the axle I say who cares if they keep you from having a rollover and getting hurt or killed. Some tractors can be made wider by just flipping the wheels around and putting on opposite side.On my JD 2305 i gained 3in.each side on front flipping the wheels but needed spacers on rear and got 3 inchers.

+Flood Kevan Looks like the bro-tek skid plates cover much more of the underside. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Well worth it!
i used Bro-Tek. 2" spacers on a B2920. Luv it.
I'm liking them more each time I work on the hillside!.
Great video keep them up great learning video
Ok cool, easy peasy mounting them, looks like. I'm gonna get me the 2" spacers for my massey fergie.
Definitely helps feel more stable.

+Jon Ritter Thanks Jon, I'll be testing it out some more this weekend. So far, I do feel more stable.

makes it easier if you put a little bit of paper in the socket to hold out the bolt while it starts threading.....
NICE I been thinking about those myself just still on the fence over wear and stress on the axle and bearings.
+daveknowshow Yeah, I want to do some more clearing this fall/winter which is on a hillside so I figured the wider stance should keep me a little safer.
You need it on the front especially with a loader bucket.

Have fun :-) be safe take care ! Curt
Nicely done video. I have been considering 2” spacers on my L4060, but I’m not sure I can handle the loaded tires.
I still have not heard of any issues in the forums, I'm sure some of them have loaded tires.
If you ever run into that problem again with the bolt sliding too far up the socket. Try a piece of paper. Hold it over the socket and push the bolt in to the socket. It should hold it enough so it doesn't slide all the way in.
I'll keep that in mind, great tip.
Yep! I use a blue paper shop towel most of the time (retired forklift mechanic).
Can you install 3" spacers when you have a mower deck?
Here is a link to there website, it talks about which spacers you can use for each size mower deck.

@@ODLife Thank you very much for that
Your welcome!
you are a funny guy.
It looks like you have some allthread hanging off your wheels. is that for the wheel weights you mentioned?
+Early Ehlinger yes, planned to still use them.
Hi I have the bx2670 What Is the exact measure for the rear tire please
Sorry, I do not have that info. Might check out some of the Kubota forums. The BXer facebook group and use the search group feature will get you what you need.
O&D Life thank you

Yeah I feel much more stable!
Do those come in a pack of two or do you have to buy each of them one at a time
+Justin VanNatta I think it was a pack of 2. Check out their website. I honestly can't remember.
O&D Life ok I will look
Best money can spend on your tractor. Buy the Bro-tek. They an’t cheap but, what’s your life worth?
