Front rims for B2410

[SeymourBota]

Why is it impossible to find front rims (only) for a B2410 (or any Kubota for that matter)?
The dealerships all want to sell a complete set with tires and have told me that they come pre-mounted from Kubota. I have turfs on the rear and run chains but want to switch to ags on the front for the winter and the stock ag option is a different diameter.
There is currently only one rim/tire combo on ebay and it's an R4.

I believe it's just your dealer, my local Kubota dealer was willing to sell me the wheels by themselves. He had the parts counter look up the part numbers and printed them out for me. Be warned, they are very, very proud of bare wheels.
There are two sources that I know of that make wheels for tractors. OTR wheel engineering and Southeast Press & Wheel , but I don't know about their prices and delivery times.
I have called both places and asked questions, and they are friendly and willing to help.

Thanks- it seemed strange that Kubota would only sell wheels & tires mounted. I suppose they send them that way for initial installation.

I must be missing something here. Do you want to use turfs with chains on the back while using Ags on the front? If I understand that correctly, then I think you might have a difficult time finding the right Ag tire diameter to match the gear ratio in the 4x4 transmission. Or is your tractor 2wd?

No, it's 4wd and they do make an oversized ag tire the same size as the turfs that are on the tractor now.
The plan is exactly as you mentioned, since front chain clearance is nil.
