I have and L3901 with factory wheel spacing 47" center to center. I also have a few acres of subsurface drip irrigation with tapes at 30". I'd like to get wheel spacing close to 60" so I can work in the field with crop on 30" spacing and without compressing irrigation tape. I've seen 4" Bro Tek spacers for rear wheels that could get me to 55"; would like another 5". Front spacers seem to max out at 2" (51" center to center). I understand the issue of axle stress from spreading front wheels. But I would not use the spacers when doing loader work (or any other non-row crop related work). For light work (all the real weight on implement at the rear), is this axil stress a serious issue?
Any advice on converting a light utility tractor to one I can use in crops on 30" rows spacing would be greatly appreciated.
