Trailer width question

[Cathy Liebchen]

We are thinking of upgrading from our MX5800 to an M5. Will the M5 fit on our 84” wide trailer or will I need an 8 door deckover? The MX with rear tires set at maximum width fits fine

thanks

according to tractordata it'll fit, though no idea what tires theirs had on.

I think you're going to run into a problem, particularly if you want to set the wheels further apart. I upgraded to a hydraulic tilt deck over trailer after I set the rear wheels of the M6060 to the second widest position. It fit between the fenders of a standard trailer when the wheels were at the narrowest position, but it was too wide at any other setting.

The photo below shows the M6060 on a MidSota 22ft trailer and there was an inch or two of clearance between the fenders when backing on. This is with the rear wheels at the narrowest setting, and I'm thinking that an M5 will be even wider.
