WHEEL SPACERS

[retired plowman]

Got a BX2380 and it's a little scary. I have been using my B8200HST for plowing, The BX plows good but seams a "little tippy compared to the B8200" What can or should I do ?

I dont know why a BX would seem tippy it is low slung and pretty wide for what it is. Now if you are trying to drift one then it might be scary. You might find wheel spacers on a BX a bit problematic for clearance just the way the body is laid around the wheels wiring and hydro lines. Now the B yep I did wheel spacers, that is tippy, the BX I would run any place with out worry. But I thought do you have a FEL on the BX, if so that changes things a bunch.

Wheel spacers do help from what people say here.

I've been running these for over 6 years.

Substantial savings $ over what the cool kids buy.....

2" spacers on the BX. Running R4s. Max size that Kubota recommends. The ground clearance on the BX is minimal. IIRC, just over 6". Relative to width you would think it would feel relatively stable. Bx rides rough and bumpy relative to the NH. Gives the feeling of less stability even though I'm sitting much closer to the ground than on the old NH. Guessing the much heavier, wider, larger wheels of the NH gave it more stability.

Didn't realize how little clearance the tires have on the inward side until looking at one without spacers at the dealer a couple weeks ago. Chain clearance would be minimal without. Spacers were +$200, but the additional clearance and hopefully stabler ride made it worth the $$$s.

Another thing that enters the question is that I have a all steel & glass cab weighs about 350 lbs. i guess I should take a peek at the space that the spacers would go.
