I see most people have their wheels set about like the ones are on my tractor, here is a pic:

I've also seen some set like the ones in this picture:

As the wheels are now on my tractor it won't fit on a standard 16' utility trailer that has the side rails. If I swapped the wheels and inverted them I think it would fit. I don't think I will need to load it on a trailer very often but I was just wondering the pros and cons of leaving it setup the way it is verus narrowing it up. I'm using it on pretty flat ground so I'm not sure how much of an issue that would be and I'm mainly using a 6' rotary mower and a 7' blade as my most common implements.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Nathan

Mine are dished in. when i have to haul i have to push them in; my trailer is only 6' wide but when i plow the garden i have to pull them out to 1" from the end of the axle. Im plowing on a 40" row

On my M they are dished out and on my H they are dished in and at the end of the axle. The H will fit on a standard trailer. It is harder to get on the tractor from the front and it feels a little less stable.

I had mine dished in like yours, but i joined the 4-H plowing club and had to dish them out so i could plow properly. I always thought that when they were dished out they looked goofy, but when you have to do it to your own tractor it dont look goofy no more, i put 2 sets of weights on the back, so now it looks even better.

That is up to you. Car trailers hadn't been invented when the M was built, and you are correct when you say it won't fit, unless you reverse one wheel. I don't worry much about stablility, I would if I had to work on any kind of a slope, I don't. As far as car trailers go, your M is too heavy for the "standard" 7000 lb capacity car trailer, particularly if it has wheel weights or loaded tires. Yours doesn't have the weights, meaning with the typical 2000 lb trailer, you are right on the edge with your 4900-5000 lb tractor. You really need a heavier trailer. I know people put M's on 7000 GVW trailers, but they are asking for trouble. If you have a wreck with an overloaded trailer, and kill someone, you will be prosecuted, sued, etc. Just something to keep in mind -- put the wheels wherever you want.

The second pic shows the wheels just as it would have been delivered from the factory. The wheels were mounted this way because the tractor was easier to fit on the rail car or truck. Also some row crop applications would require the wheels set in this fashion. There is nothing wrong with mounting your wheels this way if needed to fit on your trailer. Just keep safety in mind, the tractor will be less stable and more prone to roll-overs. If you use common sense and are careful, you will be just fine.
