NH 985 wheel question

Sled Puller ยท 2009-01-18 22:42

This machine has the 12.5X16.5 standard tires. Hard to push snow,plenty if spin. Im thinking smaller wheel/ tire, with snow tread, 7:50x16 with chains would do the trick. Any ideas what other wheels would match that bolt pattern?

    that's in your favor, the 8 lug are pretty standard today. Most manufactures run 8 lug wheels on 8 inch centers, with a 6 inch center. just for the thinner tires run the 10-16.5 rims or smaller if you can find them. 10-16.5x8.25 are for 10-16.5 tires

    I have heard that the snow wolf tires completely transform a skid into a pushing beast. They are expensive cause they come with rims.
