Tire widths and deck combination

[Goldnboy 927]

I have seen a few posts a while back about some users that had 23x10.50x12 and it would interfere with the deck (42") if I remember. 

 

What about the 36"? I am thinking about putting ags on my C120 and I have it paired with a 36" SD.

I have 23x8.50x12 tuff now and traction is poor.

Not sure about the 36 in deck but the 23x10.50x12 WILL interfere with the gauge wheels on the 42 inch side discharge deck.  They DO NOT interfere with the gauge wheels on the 42 inch rear discharge deck.

It may interfere in some cases, but not on 3 different tractors here. Two 8-speeds and a hydro. Even my 520-H with wider rear wheels and 10.50 tires occasionally rubs the deck height adjust handle, but that’s all. Maybe the 42SD deck I have is newer, but I’ve had several that never gave issues.  

 

Upgrading from 8.50 tire width to 10.50 will be at worst one inch wider on each side of the tractor. If you at least two inches between the gauge wheel bolt and your current tire, you should have all the room you need for 10.50 tires.

 is there a 36 SD ???????? I thought the 36 was a rear discharge and the side discharge was 37 inch sd model?

There sure is a 36 SD...

I did update the spindles from the DD style too!
