Are you for real?
Just looking at turf tires.. compaired to ag tires and it should be plainly obvious that there will be rim differences. Do you think NH has tires made specifically for their tractors.. that don't fit any other tractors? Now that would be expensive.. and that's what would have to happen to have the situation you describe.
You either buy tires that firt your rims.. or you buy rims that fit the tires you want.
I fthis is a 4wd machine.. you have to be carefull and get the same rolling circumference ratio between front and rear tires when you get new tires / rims...
If this kind of 'issue' 'chaps' you.. then I suggest you set down and get your doctor to prescribe some sedatives that you can keep on hand as you continue to use your tractor... you will find many issues that are agravating. though common... no matter who makes your tractor.

45er said:I guess I'd just like to vent with you folks a little, and also ask if all tractor manufacturers are like NH in that they design their tractors such that you have to buy different wheels for turf and ag tires? I bought my first (and only) tractor used a few years ago (a NH 1925) and it had turf tires on it. While they worked ok, I decided that ag tires would increase the tractor's efficiency. When I went to buy some ag tires, I learned that I couldn't just buy the tires, but had to buy all new wheels too because the ag tires would not fit on the wheels that I had for the turf tires! Can anyone suggest to me that this is anything besides a marketing ploy to sell more tires/wheels? Is there a real technical reason that this has to be the case? I bet not. This sure chaps me off and I was wondering if all the other manufactures of these compact tractors do the same thing? 45er
