Do as Turf Care indicated - have a friend inquire/offer and be the "strawman" in this case and approach this rather unhappy seller - that way you can determine if you want to engage him again or walk away.

Also, the seller is going thru a tough time and doesn't want to sell but is forced to, and that would make me unhappy too, but its business.

Finally have the $ available and not waiting on a loan etc. as the seller needs to get it done, and doesn't likely care about the buyer's issue / cash loan etc.

There seems to be plenty of used tractors of interest showing up.

Exactly, no good reason to have to compromise.

Regarding changing tires from one type to another, it usually involves changing both tires and RIMs, and that can add up. It's a much bigger tractor, but I have been looking at Deere 5 and 6 series tractors, some of which would need different tires, and it would cost in the neighborhood of $20k ($5k per wheel) to switch. The fronts are less than the rears, but that's how it averages out. On the tractors you are looking at, I wouldn't be surprised if it's in the $2k to $3k range per wheel. With a little research you can get all the part numbers and pricing in advance to know what you are up against.

I'd guess whatever tires a tractor comes with, stays. The last atv we purchased, was over $1000 to switch the tires out. Didn't do it.
