I just happened to think about it a couple weeks ago a friend and I were talking over an adult beverage, and he was saying he wanted to go to a bigger taller tire on his bx2350. And I said I would ask, and so I am admittedly a tad later but Im asking. SO how tall can he go with out tearing shyt up under the fenders, and yes I know it has to be done front and rear. Anybody have any ideas, or maybe he could go with wheels off a B, I don't know guys so I is askin
Hey guys question on how BIG

I don't know how big because I don't have one around for reference, But consider these points
They were designed to have small tires for a reason, Low center of gravity!
The drive train also will be working harder to turn a larger tire.
The tractors attachments geometrics are based off or the smaller tire, so lifting the unit could adversely effect the Loader, MMM, Backhoe, and even the 3 point hitch.

I agree with the previous comments. About the LAST thing in the world you would want to do is raise the center of gravity on a BX. I LOVE them, but I still think the wheelbase is about a foot too short and the track width about a foot too narrow. Taller tires just takes an iffy situation and makes it far worse, never mind the other operational issues.

Not that it helps with bigger tires, I would tell him to get some spaces, 2.5 on either side make one hellva difference without placing any real strain on the works. The stability is noticeable too. BIG time!
