Measure from
the
center of the power
take-off shaft
to
the inside edge of the right
rear tire
and set
it at 30-inches or 32-inches
as
desired. The left wheel should be set
the same. However, when it is desired
to
give the
tractor
greater
stability,
such as
hillside plowing, the left wheel
may
be
set

Dual
Wheels
On-The-Land
Operation
The
recommended overall tractor
rear
tire width to
be used with plows
equipped to
operate
"on-the-land"
is
123
inches,
and
better
performance can generally be ob-
tained
with
narrower settings. Illust. 5
shows
the recommended
wheel
settings.
These
settings
can be obtained when the
outside
(dual) wheel has
an offset of not
more than 5-1/2
inches. When
plowing with
dual
wheels and the tractor
is equipped
with
a cab,
it may be
necessary
to
move the
right,
inside tire closer to the
cab than the
recommended 4-1/2
inches as outlined
in
the Tractor
Operator's Manual. The
left
wheels
may be
set
out to
allow clearance
between the
inside tire
and
the door of the
cab.

The
maximum overall
tractor
rear tire
width
to be used with plows equipped to
operate "on-the-land" is 133-inches,
and
better
performance can generally be
ob-
tained with narrower
settings. See tractor
operator's manual.
When operating in extremely dif-
ficult
soil
conditions, it
is
advantageous to
have
as
narrow
a
rear
wheel
setting
as
is
safely possible.
