Depends. Knowing the worst-case scenario is 2 new rims, tubes, and friendlier fluid installed by an on-site service as the most expensive/least hassle solution, get estimates and decide if that's a budgetary deal breaker for you. If the asking price of the tractor doesn't allow for such a potential expense, I'd make it a point of negotiation and be prepared to walk away. If you're willing and able you to safely perform any of the work, subtract that from the $$$ cost and add in the hassle/time factor, decide if it lands in your comfort zone. As mentioned, you could just run it and pray. Depends on how you intend to use it, how dangerous a flat might be, how much you might worry about such a thing, and how easily you can handle the expense/hassle at any given time. I mentioned safely above: if you've no experience with fluid filled tires, they are dangerously heavy. In my experience, the expense of an on-site ag tire service was worth it compared to dealing with them full of fluid or pumping them out. If it's an otherwise good tractor at a good price, I wouldn't let it spoil the deal.
