FEL for m8200 narrow

[suntex01]

Hey guys,
Been thinking about getting a FEL for my m8200 narrow to make it a lot more useful. Is there a factory FEL that is direct a fit or can fit with some mods? Or any other FEL that can fit?

Thanks

Have you checked the Kubota LA1251 or LA1301?

Ive been trying to find a installation manual on those to check the mounting points. Because the engine itself is missing s few bolt holes on the side for the bracket it seems

Narrows did not come with FEL's.
Why because they are narrow and unstable with a FEL.

Yea you can put one on it, it's just risky.

The FEL does not mount to any of the engine, it mounts to the clutch housing and the front frame of the tractor.

Got it.

Which factory FEL would sort of fit?

Should I go with something from a smaller tractor?

Thanks

Kind of like running a FEL on a Farmall M narrow front. Doable (and lots were built) but the pucker factor is very high as is the injury risk from an upset.

I widen the tracts by flipping all the wheels around which increased it by about a foot or so. It seems a lot less precarious than the original setup.

LA1251, and you can also get wheel spacers if you want more width.

I'd only flip the rears. You don't get much stability from wider fronts anyway because the axle pivots and it puts more stress on the bearings and such.

Ok. Thanks for the heads up. I'll take a look at it.
