Grab your tape measure.  Depending on the type of wheel you have and the 
width of the trailer you very well may have to also turn the wheels 
backwards.  My 43H has clipped wheels.  The trailer is 6' 2" between the 
fenders.  With the wheels turned around and all the way in the tires clear 
by 1/2 ".  Good practice for backing the tractor onto the trailer.  Please 
be careful those tires are monsters!
