Well, I've got 2 trailers with about 84 inch width decks and one has side rails. I like to do a lot of plowing so I've set the wheels on my A, G and GW John Deeres so there is about 60 inches between the wheels and they are about 82 1/2 or 83 inches overall width at the tires with the axles of the G types at 84 inches width and the A at 86. There is a little axle sticking out but not much...even on the A, This width fits the trailers and works out good pulling 3-14" plows. The wheels on my MM UTU are a little closer together at about 57 inches because it has 15.5 tires on 15 inch rims so to load it on either of the trailers requires the closer spacing. About 3 inches of axle and washer and capscrew stick out beyond the tire width on this tractor. The H and M Farmalls have their wheels in the "dished out" position and the H's wheels are about 1" away from the housing and the M's about 1/2" away. The M is too wide for the trailer with siderails but we can load it on the other one by removing the left fender, loading the tractor, and then replacing the fender. You can upset any tractor with any wheel spacing if you don't know what you're doing and get careless. Like any other machine you operate it safely with knowledge and respect. Stupidity and carelessness get you killed, not wheel spacing.
