I just bought a new Kubota L2800DT. My first Kubota.
It has Ag Tires. It seems that the rear wheel base is narrow, especially since
I use it on hilly land. I noticed that the Kubota rear wheels have different bolt slots for reversing the wheels outward. Is this recommended, and safe?
How much wider will this make wheelbase? Is there any downside to doing this?
I am just trying to get a little wider stance for stability.
Much Appreciated,

It's fine to widen the rear wheels out. Just don't reverse the front. You might even look at adding fluid to your rear tires for some extra weight down low. As far as the width goes. I think your tractor is about the same as my L 3000. Mine is about 60" wide at the rear tires.

Yep, Bulldog says it right. I'm all wide with the rears reversed and loaded on my B7100 Makes a big difference on the hillsides.

My B3200 is aprox 54" wide with the R4 style tires in "regular wheel" set up.
The loaded tires will help for sure. Lots of good reading on here in several threads about liquid ballast for the tires.
