Mounting a tire backward is almost never intentional, especially when it is only one tire.
Most of the time it is an EMERGENCY repair. There's crops in the fields that need to come in, and a storm's a brewin'. Right tire's flat. You've got a spare but it's mounted on the rim as a left. You've got two choices:
1. Install the tire on the tractor at the correct tread width, but backwards.
2. Install the tire on the tractor forwards, but at the wrong tread width.
The intention is to "fix it later." Sometimes later never comes. Those big tractor tires are a lot of work to change yourself, and hiring it done is not cheap. If you pull it off the tractor and take it in, it's BOTH, a lot of work AND not cheap.
Most rims styles common today are not symmetrical. They are usually offset 2" to one side to allow for a wider range of tread widths.
A small number of them are mounted backwards due to ignorance.
