Was wondering what wheel spacers I should get that would still allow me to operate my mid mount mower deck. IIRC bora has 1.5" wheel spacers. Looking to make my tractor more stable while I navigate the ruts and irregularities on my property.
Wheel spacers on a bx23s with 60" mower deck

I have a 60" drive over deck for my BX2370. I'll have to see what width my wheel spacers are. 1.5" installed. In case you're wanting to save some $, I went with something inexpensive off ScamAzon about 7 years ago and have had no issues.

Do you notice a real difference with just the 1.5" spacers? I know it's a small wheelbase, but still, that feels like so little. And if so, where would you notice the extra stability most? i.e. rough terrain, steep slopes (such as ditches), or perhaps elsewhere?
My property is pretty flat but, yes, I notice fewer creases in the seat cover after installing spacers when mowing the ditch or navigating rough terrain than before. They only provide about a 6% increase in width but that combined with my wheel weights has lessened the pucker factor. Hope this helps.
I use 1-1/2" spacers on my BX23S with 60" deck.
no issues.... 7 years now.
I run jeep spacers from Amazon.
right now they are $63.00 for a set.
I use 1.5" on my BX2200 and it only leaves less than 1" clearance between the rear deck and the deck wheel on the left side. I've not tried it using my turf tires yet. Almost forgot to add that I've really have not noticed a dramatic improvement in stability.

Installed 1.5" spacers on my BX2380 with a 60"MMM. A slight increase in stability. Would agree on the <10% number. Its better, not great. I have 1" between the deck and the rear wheels.
I'm running 2" spacers on my BX25D with the 60" mower deck (standard, not drive-over) with no issues. It's not easy getting the deck on/off on flat ground with the spacers, so I usually just lift it up a few inches with the loader or a jack at the back for extra room.
It's a heck of a lot more stable on the hills than it used to be. Cheap Amazon ones have worked well for me.
