Bora (Stahl) Steel Wheel Spacer Install John Deere 2025r

[@ChrisFiggatt]

I appreciate this video, I just ordered a set of the 3” spacers for my 2305 this morning.

[@JohnWCH]

Right on!

[@ericwanner7966]

I have a 2305 and am thinking about doing this too.

[@ChrisFiggatt]

I highly recommend! Much much more stable with these spacers!

[@kilo41217]

Kansas guy not offended...great tip!

[@JohnWCH]

My man!

I had 1.25"s on my 1025R and 2.5"s for my 2025R. Hands down on the 1025R it was a night and day difference, especially when I was using my forks and carrying logs. I no longer felt tippy, and I'd almost tipped it once before having the spacers on. I haven't got them on the 2025R yet as we still have quite a bit of snow and I don't have the need to have em on just yet. 2.5" is about as wide as I can go with my 54" deck before you obstruct the gauge wheel lock.

[@JohnWCH]

Night and day is a good way of putting it.

Hello, my father in law was a mechanic for over 35 years. He always used wheel bearing grease between the car/truck hubs and wheel rims. Probably a lot cheaper then anti-seize.

[@JohnWCH]

Good idea.

[@markellis6727]

Im adding 2.5 to my 2025 R, will put me at 53" wide, sure hoping it makes a difference in the stability

[@JohnWCH]

It will.

[@dukesxd9]

After a year now, would you suggest anything different or still recommend the wheel spacers?

[@mulrooneyryan]

Loving all the content lately! Any chance of getting more after shots? Thanks

[@JohnWCH]

Sure thing. Next vid I'll have more.....it was a ROUGH morning.

[@seandever2289]

CRC will work good, personally I use permatex SilGlide brake lube , all mating surfaces and lug studs. Blue loctite , meh. Keep update on how the spacers work

[@JohnWCH]

Will do . Thanks for watching!

[@LakeJoe]

great videos, greeting from Canada. I have a 2025r on order and will do spacers, did you do the front wheels as well? my use is primarily snow blowing, no plans for mowing. Thanks

[@JohnWCH]

I found that there was going to be no need, FOR ME, to do fronts. Up to you if you wanna invest in that. While rare, its not unheard of.

[@LakeJoe]

@@JohnWCH fair enough, thanks for the reply. Stay well.

[@ronniejohnson317]

Anti acid liquid like Malox. Brush it on thin. Cheap but works great. I have used on diesel trucks for 30 years.

[@JohnWCH]

Sorry, in regards to what? Anti-seize?

[@Anthony-th2zs]

Update? How’s it going so far? Any changes in your opinion of the spacers? You still like the steel over aluminum?

[@JohnWCH]

I'm filming an update this weekend. Long and short: if you're on the fence, get them.

[@Anthony-th2zs]

@@JohnWCH thanks I’ll keep a lookout for the vid.

[@caputoskubota337]

My question is .. Did the wheel fall off?

[@JohnWCH]

The wheels still never fell off.

[@ya472]

NONSENSE: if people are using the tractor inappropriately, spacers only increase the 'stupid factor'. I have put OVER 3,000 hours on a BX25 without encountering ANY situation where wheel spacers would have helped. And yes, I tipped it twice!

[@JohnWCH]

You tipped your tractor over TWICE? Your opinion is invalid here.

[@ya472]

@@JohnWCH haha ha. Whose opinion is invalid? Apparently the fella who doesn't have any EXPERIENCE. LOL.

[@georgea6403]

How did you decide what thickness to go with?

[@JohnWCH]

Honestly, I wanted a width that I FELT like I'd be getting my money's worth out of. Not very scientific.

[@w0lf1969]

No one ever shows before and after pictures after spacer installation from the rear!

[@VFR22R4L]

the wheel is going to fall off

[@JohnWCH]

any second now....

[@andylink5818]

It’s been a few seconds sense this was first posted lol is the wheel still on? Or did it fall off?
