Kubota L3901 Wheel Spacers

[KennedyFarmer]

Hello everyone I am new here, but I just joined the tractor/Kubota community with a L3901 w/loader and forks.

My property as some hills and I have found ruts in the yard I never knew I had. I am looking at loading the tires (rimguard) and putting something on the 3 point. But before that I was wondering about wheel spacers. Does anyone know what is correct fit for the L3901? Also what size should I go with, I was looking at between 2-4 inches? Do I only space the rear?

Bro-tek has only 2 inch listed on their site for the L3901, i couldn't find any other the ones. On ebay they say for L series or L3800, etc

Aren't the wheels adjustable (3 settings) width?

I havent found anything in the manual about adjusting them plus another fourm thread said they aren't on the L3901 tractor is too cheap.

Yes but will the L3800 spacers work? i looked in the forum i haven't found any answer to this question. I know the L3901 was the L3800 just has the DPF Teir 4 stuff that the L3800 did not. I am not sure if they changed the wheels.

maybe i need to call these companies and ask about them on Monday.

Kennedy Farmer, where are you in Pa?

On the other side of the state, outside of Scranton.

If your tractor as Ag (R1) tires the wheels are adjustable, if industrial (R4) tires then not. Mine has Ags and are adjusted all the way out, makes a big different in stability.

Best you can do is have significant weight (500-1000 lbs) on the 3 pt hitch when using the FEL!!!

Fluid filled tires are the next step. Helps a lot, but does not take place of 3 pt ballast.

2" spacers will make more difference than it seems

Thanks, yes I have the R4 tires. looks like i will need to get some heavy 3 point option.

I found early on that you have to have weight on the 3ph if you want to use the FEL. I have filled tires but you still need weight back there. I keep my tiller or cutter attached if I have the room so that I don't have to switch as often.

Check page 53 of your operator's manual, if you have it handy. Your R1's are adjustable; R4's are not. I got mine adjusted out on the 50 hr service. Spacers may get your tires outside your implement coverage and leave tracks on every pass you make, especially disc and box blade.
