I have a '91 B7100HST that was originally equipped with turf tires. The original tires are still in great condition with lots of tread, but they just don't give me enough traction here on the farm.
I would like to get R1 Ags on ag rims. My dealer told me that the ag wheels are available aftermarket, but it has been like pulling teeth to get the parts dept to order them for me. Does anyone know where the ag rims can be had, possibly online? I have the 6 lug front wheels.
Thanks!

A quick eboy search shows lots of options for rear rims, but looks like only 4 lug front rims:

You need to measure your bolt pattern and center hub diameter and research wheels that way, When I needed new rear wheels for my B7500 I found what I needed by searching farm implement wheels which were a lot less expensive than purchasing them from Kubota, Your tractors weight and load capacity are not so heavy as to be a problem with farm implement wheels and there are number of different suppliers/sources for these wheels, once you have found what is available in farm implement wheels you can start to search what is available in AG tires and start matching the needed tire heights(on your machine now) to available tire/wheel combinations.

By the time you buy new wheels and tires you will probably find it cheaper to trade the tractor in for a new one with ag tires. Those tires and wheels will cost almost as much as a replacement B7100

As it happens, I have a '94 B7100 (6 lug) with R1 tires on that I would actually like to have turfs on........
I'm not particularly in a position to travel at the moment, but if you're interested in trying to figure something out, drop me a line. I'm in N. Michigan (bit south of Traverse City).
