Going to an auction to try and buy a 70 std diesel. The trailer I rented is not very wide, 74 inches. Will it fit?

Dan I hate to burst your bubble, but your going top need a lot of axle grease and feeler gauges to get a 70 standard on a 74" trailer. My 720, essentially the same thing, is 89" wide, and the wheels are as far in as the fenders allow. It is possible to widen them out several more inches though. The 70 manual shows a standard to be a minimum of 86 5/8" overall width, and a shipping weight of 7265lbs. That is another thing many people often don't consider, a standard is generally heavier than its row crop counterpart, both from equipment, and from weights/water to make it pull more.If you can get it home though, I'm sure you'll never regret buying a 70. P.S. You might want one of the new Ertl 70 DS precisions, I just got mine today and it is sharp!

Tony's right.. they are wide.. and heavy.. mine hangs off both sides of my 8ft wide trailer.. but the wheels are not all the way in. It has the 1800x28 rears.. and weighs 9100lbs with no weights on it.. Its a beast...

1800-28's? Factory issue was 14-30/16.9x30,15-30/18.4x30 and on occasion 18-26/23.1x26 . What did you find to fit on there?

haha.. Gman.. actually.. its one more month until the Big Day.. just wish it would hurry and get here.. All this stuff is driving me NUTS... Also closing on the new house today, so will be busy moving, and going out of Town for work on Monday for 2 weeks..

On the 70D standard.. It has the 18.00x26 rear tires... Look up the specs for an 840.. (except I think mine are on 18in rims instead of the 20in.) the tires are the 18.00 grader tires.. (same as the 840) The tractor was used (abused) in road construction pulling a sheepsfoot packer.. They are filled with water. JDGnut

I'm taking this trailer back first thing in the morning. Will check to see if the rental place has a wider trailer but the weight still bothers me. Thats twice as much weight as I usually pull. Thanks for the advice.

Ended up going to the sale without a trailer, big mistake. Tractor sold for a good price (I was next to the last bidder). Things just did not work out no matter how hard I tried. I've found that it's usually for a good reason when things don't work out.
