BX wheel spacers - Pro and Con???

[Gundoctor]

Just saw this company ad about wheel spacers for what I have a BX 2230. Is a good thing and do you need these????

Just want to know the Pro and Con as I am new to this tractor!!!

Any help or ideals would be great.

If you're running a MMM , it'll need to be a 60" deck so that the
skid wheel housings clear the rear tyres.
I prefer the solid spacers ; those you've found look "cheap".

Unless you're side-on on a 30 degree plus slope , it won't
roll unless you turn uphill quickly. 10lb in the rear tyres really
helps it sit firmly on the lawn.

John Deere make a 1 1/4" spacer , if you have a 54" deck ,
but it's not really going to be much use...........

Loss of traction and an uneven cut is more a problem on
steep slopes , rather than tipping fears.
