Need help!

I’ve got some nice hardened steel (expensive) chains from my now gone KIOTI NX5510. I would like to find a new tractor with the same tires so I can re-use these chains.
The chains fit 16.9 24 AG tires.
My question: Is there any way to search new tractors by tire size and style? Thanks in advance!!

I believe you can get that information from the dealers and possibly also from TractorData.com. I do not believe there is a way to just plug in that info and get answers other than just google it.

Personally I would not base the decision of my next tractor model on the size of the wheels so I could use chains in their current configuration. Chains are usually pretty easy to modify to fit the new tire size so I would not worry much about it. Buy the next tractor you want and fit the chains to it.

Just my 2 cents.

Well stated Mr. Loggin...

yes to both above replies, senseless to justify new purchase based on chain size.
lot more to consider for a new investment

I'd look for a machine that fits my needs first. That's the most important thing. If the old chains fit or can be made to fit, fine. Otherwise, sell the chains and purchase ones that fit the new machine. You might take a loss on the chains, but the correct machine for your needs is more important, I'd think.

Good luck.

Generally you should look at utility tractors having between 40-80HP. You will surely find a tractor to meet your requirements with that size tires.
That's your homework assignment for this
year.
This is a good starting site: TractorData.com - Farm tractors
Good luck it says there are 270 tractor mfgrs.
