I don't remember the number but mine is wide. You get used to it. You will like it when you get sideways on a hill.

When I made my wheel adaptors I was able to move the wheels in with some fancy machine work. And nothing wrong with a little smoke in the air. 8)

I was trying to get mine close to my old rail with 82". The new one has 3x3's, 14" wide wheels with a 5" offset and 1" adaptors. If I didn't have adaptors it would have been 82" I know it's only 2" but for some reason I always hit the stump or rock with 82". I'll just have to get used to 84".
