Hi, i was just wondering whether one of you lot could give me a list on what tractors are under 2.45 meters wide? I ve just turned 16 and would like to know and to tell my boss

 

Many thanks

That would be a very long list, especially if we have to include models! 

I would say anything below 50hp will almost definately be under 2.45 wide.

Maybe you could tell us what size tractor you have in mind? Try a bit of research online (manufacturer's websites).

 all widths will be in the tractor specifications..... most tractors under 100hp are set at 2.45m wide, and less.

 

(to be honest no-one cares particully, obviously I'm not saying break the law, I'm just saying that if one was to accidently drive a tractor slightly wider than 2.45, its hard to measure the exact width, and never ever heard of such a thing being a problem)

 for example for your widths.... massey 4235 (70 odd hp)- 2.45m, 5435 (80 odd hp)- 2.45m... i think the 5445 and 5455 are also the same tracking, so that takes you up to 100hp on the masseys; thus your alright with anything less than 100 horses.

tractor width going to generally depend on wheel settings of the individual machine. In my experience pretty much anything up to 150hp is ok, but some newer tractors are wider as for 50k box mudgards have to cover all of the tyre and therefore stick out at about 2.55m

the majority of tractors that sit at rated 160ish hp will be under that width  ull find out more by looking at broshures on internet eg if ur boss had a jd 6430 u would find out the ruff width from thre but some companies mesure difrently  some u find mesure from mud gard to mudgrard most mesure frim wheel axel to other and dont include wheel it should tell u tho

having the same search at the moment, just went and measured a jd 6810 and it was below 2.45m so that is ok for me. claas ares 656 was too wode though but sure you can move the wheels in to slim it up a little!

very simple solution take a tapmesure to the tractor

would i be able to use a valtra  T150 or is that to wide ???

 i took my test in our newholland TM155, its on standard tyres, and was 2.4ish metres wide, but, to be honest, just use a tape measure and measure it ;)

 think a t150 would be too wide, but not sure... but as its already been said... its not such a main point your width.

Thank god someone's got some common sense !

yup dont know why people keep making topicks like this is u aint sure if the tractor u want to use is legal take a TAPE MESSURE TO IT and messure it.

i should worry to much about being over width as long as u r aware of the width of ur machine. i done my test on a case 5150 with duals on one afternoon half way through rolling a 50 acre field just down the road from test she measures in at about 3.5 metre and the examinar just asked a load of queations about the risks of being a wide veicle, im ust glade he didnt see the neighbour moving there 6metre combi down the road on the tractor linkage lol  

It's not the tractor, it's a combination of tyre width and whatever the tractor track with is set at. In my experience most tractors are set at 72", give or take an inch, so with 20.8" tyres gives you an overall width of 7' 9", which is within your limit by 3", although you may have low profiles, which mucks everything up!!

i don't, but some do, just to be awkward, because we don't get taught it in school

 

Ive had no problem with a JD 6930, 6830, or anything below!

 im a bit past 16, but all my life ive measured in feet, because thats what buildings, feeders, trailers,  etc etc etc come in (:
