HI All, Happy New Year,
I had a call from an agracat owner in Colorado who had broken a front axle with the wheels set wide. My official resonse if asked if this is OK would be no, don't do it, because of the stress. The manual only gives one track for 4wd front end even though they have a range for the rears. Widing the rears to the widest possilbe setting will give you more stability, remember the front axle pivots anyway. On the other hand I know people are doing it and have not broken anything. YOu also leave your outboard drives/steering knuckle exposed so try not to hit any rocks or fire hydrants.

You can get the rear wheels completely out from under the fenders.

I had a call from an agracat owner in Colorado who had broken a front axle with the wheels set wide.

Hello Artrac,
Thanks for your reply about flipping the front wheels out on a Jinma 224.

Do you know if the agracat owner in Colorado had a front end loader on his at the time of breakage or can you supply me with more details of what happened to cause the breakage.

I can see that dropping the front end for one reason or another might surely result in damage, either from a hole or simply dropping the front end off of something that was higher. Such as a log or a hole, concrete slab, etc.

As much as I like the look of the wider front end,, I am enclined to reflip them back in now, as I don't want to pay for front axle repair. Although I am hearing that several people are flipping them out,, especially in hilly areas.

My rear wheels can be moved out a little bit more,, but they might be outside the 5ft box blade that I am pulling now. Right now,, they are about 2" inside of the 5ft box blade now. That seems to be working out about perfect for the rear wheels.

Thanks again and let me know more about the agracat if you can share more of the story.

Happy New Year &
Have a nice day,
