Ag truck wheels

I saw a ag spraying truck the other day with oversized wheels. It was an OBS F350, that's all I know. I want to know what rims and tires it had.

It was similar to this one.

Not sure about the rims, but the tires look like they came off a semi.

I know in Arkansas if you run Floating tires (the really big ones) then you can run died diesel and don't have to pay the road tax. Where I live there are a lot of Mennonites and quite a few of them run businesses cleaning out chicken houses and they all run floaters on the rear because of that.

These are the tires I'm talking about...



As for those tires about every sprayer truck I've ever seen has had similar wheel/tire combos. when the plants are smaller they allow the truck to drive down the rows and not damage the plants.

seems like brake cooling would suffer with those solid rims, and changing a flat on the road would be a pain, those suckers got to be heavy

They are custom made rims. NOT something you can buy off the shelf.

As for the tires, just regular old ag tires

and 99.9% of all AG tires are not rated for over 45 MPH.
