[Farmall] M - Tricycle Wheel Spacing

[szabelsk at gdls.com]

To avoid tipping over sideways when making a very tight turn at high speed
with twice the recommended weight in the bucket, I vote for the wide
setting.  The main things to be concerned about are:

Having an idea of where your center of gravity is (keeping the load as low
as possible lowers the overall center of gravity)
The type of terrain your driving over (slope, how rough)
How high will the bucket be when your driving (see above)
How fast or slow will you be going (the slower you go, the less likely to
tip)
How much are you going to try and move at one time (the more trips you make
the lighter the loads can be)
How wreckless will you be (versus how wreckless can you be)

Hope this helps.

I'm putting on some shiny new 6.00 x 16's on the front and the book says I
have 4 different spacing options for the tires/rims as they are bolted to
the wheels.

I have a loader on the tractor and will be picking up lots of heavy rocks
soon.

What spacing is best for what application?  eg - Narrow spacing vs wide
spacing.
