Hi All,
I am trying to decide between a B2601 and a B2650. I want the 2650 but there is only about 5/8" clearance between the inner rear tire and fender.
I have a steep asphalt driveway and I've always used tire chains on my current tractor, a B2100.
The B2601 has enough clearance for rear chains but is lacking a lot of things the B2650 has. Mostly fel lift capacity.
The B2650 has wheel spacer kits as an option that will solve the problem but Kubota says the spacers are not compatible with a mmm deck. I could remove the mower deck and add the spacers in the winter. Then remove the spacers in the spring and add the mower deck but, I'd rather not have to do that. It looks like the spacers wouldn't interfere with the mower deck but Kubota says they do on their "build my tractor website."
Does anyone here have any experience with this issue?
I've been searching the internet and this seemed like a good place to find an answer. Any help is appreciated.

A forum member suggested these, he has used them for years with good results. I am ordering a set for my B2650HSDC.[/QUOTE]

I've seen those on the internet. Thanks. I didn't think there was enough clearance even for those.
