Dual wheels

[rockbuilt 7]

I was wondering if the duel wheel set up limits the size of tires and wheels

I wanted to put duels on the C-100 but I wanted 4 regular size tires I think they are 12" X 7.5" X 23" no real reason I just think it would be cool and add weight any input would be appreciated

Depends on the adapter you choose to use. The solid mount ones that are bolted to the hub or factory box/pipe style need to be the correct length for your application. The ring style however just sits inside the bead lip of the rim, and you can put any combination of rims together with it.

Keep in mind when you add duals, you're not adding traction, you're adding flotation. Your not changing the weight by any significant amount, and you've just spread that original weight over a larger footprint.... you'll actually lose traction faster because you've lowered the distribution weight PSI for the amount of ground contact. Duals are most effective in soft dirt or mud when you need to maximize your ground contact. Mostly on garden tractors they're just for looks.

Duals will also add stability if the tractor is used on sidehills or with a loader attachment.

i have duals on my 300 series machine and i love the look,they dont add traction,but i can go on wet grass and not rut it up too bad becausethey spread the weight,

I had dual ags on my 702 until last winter's ice when I changed to "Z" treads. My inside tires were about an inch or so taller, allowing the loaded outside tires to ride airborn on hard sufaces so they acted as weights. When I got into soft ground where the inners would sink a bit the outers would provide flotation. Worked like a charm most of the time. The biggest drawback was when trying to plow more than 4-5 inches of snow with the plow angled. Because the outer tires were beyond the width of the plow the outer tire on the side where I was throwing snow would ride up onto the snow pile and throw the tractor at an angle, which made the plow dig in on the other side too much.

As TT mentioned, this did make the tractor more stable on slopes.

The duals do work great with a FEL,Rick

With plowing snow wouldnt the duals want to climb up on the unplowed snow thus losing traction?? I think they look awesome with duals and have considered doing it myself but allways thought it wouldnt be practical in the snow

Dualls add a lot of stability, plus are high on the cool factor! :thumbs:
