Tread of Mule

[Skeeter]

The specs list the tread of mule to be 40.5 inches. My question is, that distance is measured from what two points?
The center of tire or the out side surface of tire?

Simple question is, what is the distance from the outside of the front tires?

Or better yet, how wide a trailer is needed to transport a Mule?

Thanks
Skeeter

It's a tight fit in an M105. Also a tight fit in the back of a longbed (8') pickup.

My mule with the standard tires (not the wide tires and fenders) is 49 inches, so you need at lthe very least 50 inches.

The lifting rings stick out just a little bit past the outside edge of the tire. Don't crowd yourself, I would go four and a half ft. just to be comfortable. Tom

I picked up a trailer for the mule. The fenders were 46" apart. I cut them to 50" at it still is close. When you come up the ramps it's better to have a little more room if you could get it. I'm going to cut a little more to make life easier. And yes we drove it up and down the ramps. The safety sticker on the ramps said not to ride up or down the ramps. After doing this a winch seams the better way to go.

You can make one fit on a Pick-up with a 6' bed but leave the tail-gate down and have it sitting on some 2"x8" boards to help distribute the weight and not let it all sit on the tailgate.

I used a 5x9ft trailer from U-Haul. It is a perfect fit in one of these trailers.
