Overview

This video focuses specifically on rear tread width adjustment as a hill-safety measure, walking through two real tractors side by side to show the difference between narrow and wide settings, 68 inches versus 83 inches outside-lug to outside-lug. Mike explains how welded versus bolted rims affect your options and flags the bearing-wear tradeoff of going wide. Best for new rural landowners dealing with hilly terrain.
