It's a 2022 model. If I set the turn radius tighter the fenders can rub the hood when the axle oscillates. Can barely turn tight enough with a 35' finisher to go pass by pass, have to skip passes to make it easier.


Have you lowered the fender brackets as close to the tire as possible? And slid the brackets until the BARELY miss the wheel when it turns.

The whole system is adjustable, and most dealers never adjust them. Drives us nuts

The tractors with new fuel tanks, meaning battery inside the RH compartment, not on top the fuel tank on the RH side, REALLY made a nice improvement on the turning vs the older 8700's. Traded a couple Deere's in on them and they were impressed with our turning radius compared to Deere.
