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.

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.
Regards

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.
