Tedder/Rake wheels

Can anyone recommend a supplier for complete wheels with bearings for rakes and tedders? Haven't priced main dealer yet but Mr Claas isn't usually cheap. Think they're 15/6.00x6 but as you can see both the tyres and the rims have seen better days.

At the moment I need 3 of them but that number could increase...

What does the rest of the tedder look like
If you're suggesting that the rest of it is scrap, the wheels are by far the worst bit.
Pictures from last year that have been posted on this forum before.
The rake that currently needs 1 wheel

And the tedder that currently has 2 narrow, wheelbarrow sized wheels on the outer rotors that I'd like to upgrade

I bought non genuine as a spare from the dealer when I came to need it the bearings were slightly different in spacing so for the sake of £40 I bought a proper one

Ive bought them from ebay before,that will be cheapest but quality is not always great.The pair I bought wouldn't stay up for more than a couple days.

They aren’t local to you but I went to HRN tractors (400 yds down the road from me) last year when I had to get puncture repair on my Tedder. They sold me a complete wheel bearings and all for about £48. The bearings were slightly different spacing but I got in about it with a die grinder and made them the same. When I eventually got the puncture repaired I was hit with a £40 bill for a new tyre because I had run the old one flat!

Malpas online are pretty competetive for tedder tyres/wheels. Bought some rake tyres and tubes there recently.

Will the stubby wheel shafts be long enough to take wider wheels on the tedder? Could source higher ply rated tyres if not

I have a parts book for the tedder and the wheel shafts are the same for wide or narrow wheels. Having said that the same width of rim might be available with different bearing spacings.

Strangely, genuine krone complete wheels are crazy cheap! Far cheaper than Kuhn.. order one and you might have to change 1 bearing. That’s what we do.

Was going to call in on the way home tomorrow, was expecting them to be more than that. Is that genuine Claas with nice red paint or aftermarket? Think they're a Granit agent?
The proper one, had one go with a mate on the rake last year, rang then expecting them to be a fortune but pretty sure they were £60 odd, so I got 2 & he went & lifted them, were in the yard before I was.
