Tractorman810 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 How about these http://www.artisan32.com/17-roue-de-transport-01.html 33mm OD,the guy takes PayPal,easy to deal with,i've used them a few times, Regards Joe. got 2 sets of those here, for something i never quiet got round to, they are great but i found i have 2 different dia pairs, not by much ,, one set of tyres is a little thicker in the rubber than the others, so be ware if you do get them ian, as long as you get a matched pair, ,then i guess it doesnt matter if each set is silightly out i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 30mm Ian for the baler wheel and tyre diameter. Would look lost on that trailer of yours. However, rembember the Joal Trelleborg tyres on diecast rims? 37mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
