Wheel Spacer-what to buy?

erda · Oct 30, 2016

So, it's become evident that I need to purchase some wheel spacers to install chains on the B2601.

Searches bring up a variety of brands: Bora, Bro-Teck, Stahl, Tracks Company. Made out of either aluminum or steel.

So, what are your recommendations and experiences?

Thanks.

put a set of Bora 3.5" Aluminium spacers on my L3901 over a year ago and love them. Installed easy and no problems at all. Appear to be well built and lifetime warranty.

I also just went with the bora spacers for my BX25D.

They are very well made, in the USA, are all Aluminum with a nice black anodized finish.

They were $225 shipped.

My only knock on them, is that the hardware that comes with them, is not identical to the OEM hardware that is used to mount the spacer to the axle.

The hardware is a slight amount smaller than the OEM hardware.

Also, the (2) nuts are different sized head than the (3) studs.

Not a huge deal as I'm not often taking wheels on and off, but slightly inconvenient.

The original OEM socket size is 21 mm. I believe the Bora Nuts needed a 19 mm socket and the studs needed 17 mm socket.

Despite that slight inconvenience, I can still recommend them as they do appear to be very good quality.

My 2 cents...

Thanks.

If you can get spacers for $225.....jump on them!

Bought three sets from Bro-Tek and they were easy to mount nd great quality; only ones I've ever tried.

I can't even get them in Australia for my L2600... They could be very useful around here too.

$235 for 2" for my B6200. I might spring for a pair this winter.

Bought a set from Bro Tek and am in Canada. As my fellow Canadian says cost a bit due to exchange , freight and duties but needed something as tractor was quite tippy. Hoping this helps wont hurt for sure.

Not sure if you have offset wheels, I have a B7800. Mine are offset, I swapped the fronts, now chains fit with no problem and tire direction is the same as it was. So far only downside is the air valve is on the inside. I didn't have to do anything with the back tires, chains have about 2 inches of clearance on the back.

Try Bro-Tek. They are actually located in New Brunswick. Shipping is reasonable, but of course you have to pay the HST on all of it. I just ordered both skid plates for my BX25 ($280USD), final cost to me is just under $410CDN to my door. Work out the math yourself and see how it looks...
Contact them by email with your "wants", see what they say.

I've attempted to find OEM for my 2650. Per Messick's they were discontinued?!?!? Do you have an OEM Part Number? Supplier? What width? Where their options?!? TIA!
