I would love to see pictures of 2650's with wheel spacers and a 60" Mowing deck along with pictures of 2650's with no spacers and the same 60" deck. If you're willing please take pictures with the deck up and down to show the available room. From what I have read the mower moves back towards rear tires a bit when lifted???

I hope to get a 2650 (with a cab) soon and want the most stability I can get.

Thanks

Well, here is mine with a 60" (RCK60-30BA) mid mount deck and Kubota 1-5/8" spacers on the wheels. I have had no problems with it so far.

I have had problems. You can use the deck, but you can't lift it high enough to pin it to use the 3 pt hitch without it touching the tire. I have turfs and Kubota spacers. Eipo used successfully, same tires but different rims, giving an inch or more decrease in wheel diameter.

With my set up, I have no problem. I***8217;ve pinned my deck up many times and it***8217;s the same spacing as in my pictures. Is it a different model deck? Mine has a cab. Would that make a difference?

What are your tires and rims? Can you measure the distance from the top of the rim dead center to the ground on concrete? Do you have ag tires?

I believe we have the same model deck.

Mine is also cabbed. Eipo used this deck on his B2650 successfully, no cab, but also different wheels.

When you set yours up did you follow the specs in the manual for adjusting the turnbuckles front and rear?

My tires are 12.4 x16R4. The dealer set my deck up so I am not sure about the adjustments. If I remember. I’ll check the measurement tonight.

Did your dealer hesitate selling the mid mount mower with the wheel spacers. With the configurator it warns that it's not compatible. I've been looking at purchasing the B2650 and tried to configured it with R4 tires and it always pops up a warning when I add spacers.

No, he had done it before on another tractor like mine.
