Quad bike wheel offset

[glasshouse]

Has anyone tried putting the rear wheels out on a quad bike to increase stabilty and squash more bracken?

Tried duals? Was at a PfL farm visit today and the host had a quad with dualled rears and a flail mower trashing bracken.

I would wonder if axle is strong enough for duals?
Simpler just to offest the wheel centre

Sorry Pasture for Life. I wouldn't have thought duals would have put any more pressure on the axle than offsets but not sure about the physics

Offsets wouldnt be as wide as duals
I bought a set of duals at auction, but fitting is not strait forward

My Yamaha Grizzly 550 was lowered by about 3 inches and I have wheel spacers, 2 inch on the back and 1.5 on the front. This was done for stability and safety on hills primarily but also so I could out run stags that were attacking me without turning the quad over when turning sharp. Very glad I had it done but sold the farm now so just use the quad in the garden which is quite big but should probably sell it. (the quad not the garden)
