I need it for maneuvering it around while it's taken apart, and it'll be a nice contrast to my brother's 1250 with the wide front and rear tires. The 23x10.50 ags I have will be nice for snowplowing and a few other misc things, but until I swap the stupid homebrew offset rims for stock ones I will definitely keep the 6-12s on. Plus, the narrow front tires on the tractor actually perfectly line up with the rears when the rear tires are in their wide position.
If my plan works, I'll have a set of good 6-12 buzzsaw tires.
My plan is to take a weighted wheel with a junk rim and swap it to the 6-12 rim that's on the tractor (left tire in picture), as the tire on the rim is exploding apart-luckily the tube holds air. Hopefully, the weighted tire won't be shredded from the concrete inside it and I'll be able to break the exploded tire off the rim without shredding the tube inside, so I can have a good set of 6-12s.
