Look into the way the wheels are dualed on a Vermeer, they use what basically look like extended lug nuts and really long bolts to attach the wheels.

If that is an oscillating axle though, which is common to stump grinders, adding dual wheels probably will not gain you any stability. The axle will have too much play side to side for it to add stability.

You might ask Carlton for ideas, but my biggest suggestion is to stay off side slopes. Go up and down hills instead of across, if you have to drive across a slope, you should keep the cutter head as low as possible.

If you really do need to drive on slopes, perhaps add some weights down under the machine to lower the center of gravity.

Look at the manual too, to see what slope it is rated to operate on safely, and do not operate on a steeper slope.
