Welcome to the world of ORANGE!
AS for the dual wheels, never seen it done (on this tractor), doesn't mean it can't be done!
I would start with loading your tires with liquid ballast - and placing a weighted box on the rear to use your bucket effectively.
Pushing them out 4" (we ain't smart enough to change to metric around these parts !
) should not be a problem, however - the strain will be a bit on that tractor. You will need the exact same size (worn too) tires, rim, and the bolts will need to be ........loooong !!!! Not sure you can find most of that without a total fabrication. Good luck !
and everyone loves pictures!!!!!!!!
Remember this, the farther out that you get the wheels, with spacers or turning the rims around, that harder it is on the bearings and axles due to the increased leverage.
Not to say that it cannot be done and in certain cases it certainly should be, but this brings the tractor outside its design specifications, so you will experience problems related to this increased leverage eventually.
You could even find that you will break a front axle hub if you have a loader, whereas the factory width on the front end would never have a issue. Again, depending upon the load and how wide the front tires get.
Not to scare you, just something to keep in mind. Again the choice between a roll over and destroying a bearing or two, or a axle, it becomes pretty clear that the tractor should be sacrificed to save you the operator!
