    They should fit fine, most rear tyres for big garden tractors in the US and most late model Wheel Horses were 23 x 10.50-12, but for AG purposes 8.50 wide is actually ideal. That said, these are not very good AG tires if you are actually going to work in the field as the lugs are not tall enough or aggressive enough. You also may want to go to a narrower and/or taller tyre up front to aid in steering. If you indeed do use these  in ploughing you might also consider fluid filling the tires with windscreen fluid and weights on the front as well. This hobby gets complicated, lol

    You may want to go with something like these

    To be honest they are for looks more than anything. The only sticky place it will get is a wet show ground of a bit of snow in winter.

    While you are waiting for implements to pop up, it might be worthwhile to inspect and grease wheel bearings and all grease points as well as drain and replace all fluids and filters. Pay close attention to slop in front axle pin and wheel bearings. It might also be wise to check tie rod ends and steering parts for slop or wear. I may have the service manual.

    I have my grease gun at the ready and I’ll be going over it with a fine tooth comb. The correct service manual would be very useful 👍


  3. Right folks I’m going to try to treat myself once a month to something for my horse it’s the 1986 512-d (300series?) I’m looking to add a trailer is top of my list . cutting deck,snow plough,spare set of wheels with agricultural tyres and any other attachments they done for it . Firstly I’d need to know what you have and how much please . I’m in Kent but can travel a reasonable distance or wait for a show to collect .
