Either Amish/ etc deal, or they priced those style tires and after picking themselves off the floor from the shock, came up with a cheaper option.
(Edit - I see rubber on the rear, so not a religious deal, strictly $$$$$ I guess.)
Actually, for as immobile as those rakes are (you won't haul them down the road behind a pickup for long, local on farm use only with those caster wheels!) I kinda like that, traction with the gaps, no flat no maintenance, I like it. Could weld a little rebar on for treads if more traction needed.

Probably can't find nor afford them if they did...I had a neighbor that wanted to give me one of those but the tires were full of mouse holes. I can't remember the size, but as I recall they were an odd size. It probably just slid the tires when they tried to use it..it at least needs some cleats welded to the tubing.

Yeah, and for ballast you can let the mud squeeze through and fill all the boxes for added weight!

Not much different from what the old steel wheeled IH and JD side delivery rakes had originally
