TX63 width

[Somerset Farmer]

Have looked at buying a TX63 on 650 tyres. This makes the combine 11ft wide and I need to get it down to 10ft 6" if possible for road access Has anyone done this and how TIA

Swap the front tyres, side for side?

There is not room as there is a deep dish on the centres

Only way is smaller tyres… the front wheels are widest point.. … you could get some tractor wheels on 540s too move for access then put 650s back on.. seen that done for crossing a railway bridge

we had a tx 65 on 650 tyres and it was 10"5 wide

62 and 64 are 8" narrower than 63 and 65 have measured 64 and it is 11ft 1" wide main access road from farm to field narrows to 10 ft 10"

I once used a company in North Wales (I think) I delivered the wheels up there, they lathed the dish out and re wielding it where I requested.

But after a few times up and down the road I switched to 800"s its a cx though not a tx.

these combines all have the same dimension the only differance is the tyres and rims to alter the width so it most be the rims but i would of though you can swop side to side a tx 65 on 800 tyres is 11"2 wide

The TX67, and 65 I think, were special narrow versions as the linkage from the sides were replaced with electrics

Yep,pretty sure they should go on the other way round.

We've got a TX64 on 650s and I think is under 10 foot 6 I can check in the morning if you want.

Thankyou I think this combine has had different wheels on it (deutz-fahr).

TX66 with white wheels was narrower than early 66 with Yellow wheels... dishes were altered I think.

Same with white wheeled 68s they were narrower

Swapping wheels is standard tx stuff but it’s going to depend on tyres fitted. Otherwise transport wheels are the only option, to work with, add duals or replace with working wheels?

TX64 on 620 tyres, yellow wheels is 10' 4"

 

[grass man]

Don't know about tx but a cx 740 is 10 ft 7 inch on 800s. Off topic, has anyone any idea of the width of a deere t560?

 

[Drillman]

Daft question but rather than mucking about swapping combine wheels could the access not be widened or another access be made?
