Wheels for tractors and their differences?

[jacksondavidWN]

Good morning everyone,

I work for a company called Wheels Now. We are a manufacturer and distributor for wheels. We have 1.5 million of inventory and if we dont have it, we can make it in under 2 weeks.

Recently I made an odd wheel for a customer and he told me about this forum.

It was a 16x8 6 hole on a 4.75 inch bolt circle. We had never made this wheel in the last 2 decades but I was told by the customer it may be common.

Any thoughts?

There is definitely a market for tractor wheels, albeit a small market. There are also a bunch of metric lug patterns too.

There's a market for anything. The trick is finding buyers or buyers finding the item.

Sounds about like the size that many 2wd tractors use on the front and possibly a lot of implements as well.

With all the shortages in tractors, many of the vintage machines from Japan are in need of rims. Most are metric in sizes and some for the imported Fords can be either or.

I see plenty of people requesting rims for old odd sizes. This happens a few times per month. A recent one was for a Kubota B6100.
