Tires Looking to buy or trade tires for JD 955 (need turf tires, have ag tires)

SRBenson · Apr 1, 2014

I have a JD 955 compact tractor. I bought it with agricultural bar tires, but use it a lot on ground that I don't want to tear up.
I'd like to buy a set of turf tires and wheels, either new or used. I would be willing to either buy outright or trade my ag tires which are in excellent condition. Thanks!!

I have same machine. I just bought brand new terf tires will trade if your tires and rims if they are in real good conditions.

OK, maybe we can work something out. I've attached 4 photos which show that the tires are in good shape with minimal wear. They are the original size (11.2x16 and 7.00x12). Can you tell me the sizes of your tires/rims? I assume that they are mounted. Can you send pictures? Why did you just buy new turf tires and now want to sell them? Are you at Fort McCoy Wisconsin or Florida? Last question: How can we make sure that neither you or I will cheat the other? Thanks for your interest and for getting back to me!

Florida. 36x13.50 15 rear and 25x8 14 front. How old are your tires? my rear tires are a month old. my front ones are five years old.

My tires are about 7 years old, but the first 6 years were used seldom (occasional weekend and yearly vacation) and the tractor was kept in a garage out-of-the-sun when not in use. Do you have pics? I will be checking on freight options from Montana to Florida.

Did you find out freight costs.. I am wondering How i'm going to come out on this deal...

Sorry. I hadn't heard from you for a few days, and didn't yet get the pics I asked for, so I thought you might have lost interest. Meanwhile, I've gotten an offer from a local source (which will eliminate the freight issue). I hope you have better luck closer to home.
