Mini skid 4\" wheels

I am looking at buying an old Ramrod mini. It has the 8" tires on it now but I want it to be narrower. Has anyone out there changed the tires on a mini skid? I'm curious about the cost and where to find them besides the manufacturer. Thanks for any help.

You'd have to change the rims too. Any farm, equipment or tire dealer will be able to match your bolt pattern and match a tire to it( # of plys, bead guard, tread etc) good news, being a mini there are butt loads of ag and turf combos to choose from. Something else to look into when you purchase the new tires is foam filling them. Never have a flat again and helps reduce the chance of popping a bead. Up here runs about $80 a tire.

Thanks Big, I appreciate it. I missed the mini. Another person had a shot at it before me and they took it.

If you can find a newholland L125, you'll love it. Ridiculously simple and easy to work on, light( 1900lbs), great dump height,and you can sit down. All in the same size package as a yellow turd s600

That's great advice thanks.
I'm gonna go for a stand on first cause the yards around here can be ridiculously tight.
