I also went with the 3" Bro-teks. Easy install, give a good looking stance, and add noticeable stability on slopes based off of my butt pucker inclinometer readings.

Great advice, thank you. Bro-tek recommended 3" and Bora's recommendation was 2" on all 4 corners. Bora has a 8 week lead time, bro-tek has 2" and 3" in stock.
AND NJtool reports Kubota sells 1 & 3/8" for this machine...
So I'm thinking front spacers probably aren't necessary and trying to decide between Bro=Tek 2" or 3". They don't stock 2.5". Do you agree?
AM i being to paranoid in thinking 3" may be to much based on Kubota selling 1 & 3/8? AM I overthinking this and do yo agree fronts don't offer enough return on investment?
Geez, now even I'm confused! Help me out with a dope slap if necessary please!
The front spacers cut down on the tricycle effect. It's why Suburbans had wider fronts than rears.
Tricycles or narrow front tractors. Are very tippy. Had 2 friends killed mowing with narrow fronts.

I heard front spacers were not recommended for the LX2610.

I don't know why not and would like to order some. If there is no good reason to not do so.

Thanks for this post btw. Just ordered the BRO-TEK 3" rears for my LX2610 w/cab. I saw they even have a 4", tho I went with your suggestion, 4" seemed a bit extreme.
I need to measure and see what might work with 30" rows.

Do you have torque specs for the installation?

Does that butt pucker have a grapple?

I don't remember the torque setting. My son looked it up on his phone, set his fancy digital torque wrench, and handed it to me to.
No grapple, I use forks and finesse ;) Pretty sure the butt pucker values will apply to grapple work as well.

Has anyone experianced issues caused by the added stress on the axel? I'm looking at 2" spacers for an LX but don't want to cause damage to the tractor.

I have not heard of any issues when installing them on the rear axle. Additionally, I never got around to installing mine and they are currently for sale if you are interested.

150 hours on mine, no issues whatsoever. Would not even consider removing them at this point.

I'm at about 50 hours so far and no issues. It really helps when on even the slightest of hills. Worth it IMHO.

I am interested. Are they aluminum or steel?
To be honest, I am not certain but based on their weight, I would assume they are steel.

I see on their site that just about every model has its own part number. May be model specific?
I looked back at my order email and it just states Kubota LX2610 Rear 2" Spacers.
