took delivery of new tractor and put the tierod extensions on to widen front wheels. I noticed very few threads showing on the adjustment for toe-in so after adding the extensions I found toein to be way off. I actually had 1" of toeout. The book says between .1 and .3" toein so I turned both tierods out until no threads were left showing and I still have .25" toeout. Drove the tractor and it seems to dart right or left making it uncomfortable. I would like to get .25" toein. I called the dealer who understood exactly what I had done and why I can't get any more toein but he didn't have any suggestions. He is going to look into it to see if there is anything I can do. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

What wheel tread do you have your tractor set? You did install both tie rod extensions? You definitely want toe-in at around 1/4''.
