Sorry guys, haven't followed this forum until recently and not aware of existing posts or unwritten rules. So here's a new thread :)
I have a b3030hsd, r4 tires. My home property is very steep and mowing is sketchy. My farm is not much better in places. Mowing or odd stuff at my home, tilling or spraying or brush mowing at the farm.

I want to widen the stance of the rear wheels with spacers. Don't see need to do the front plus I hear it's not good for bearings, etc. If I didn't have to haul my tractor to my farm, I'd do this no question. Since I have to use ramps and load on trailer, rear tires way off from the front will make this not easy. Thoughts on front and rear wheels not in the same path?

I agree with Wolfman - don't worry about THE tractor - reinvent the ramp!

Tractors don't have stance.

That term is reserved for "ricers", You know, Mitsubishi Lancers and Toyota Celicas that have fallen into the wrong hands. ;-)

Tractors have tread or wheel spacing to match the row width of the crop you have seeded.

After all, You don't want to be driving over the emerging crop.
