I would also like to get a narrower set of ags for moving earth and snow. Will 26 or 23X8.50s (depending on the answer to the above) work on the 8.50 width rims?
There is plenty on the ag vs turf question.

Measure how much room there is between the turf tire and your fender.. subtract 1.5 inches and it should tell you how much space the 26 will leave you with..(26-23)/2 =1.5...
My gut feeling is there should be plenty of room..
If you are concerned about the inner sidewall hitting do the same calculation with 10.5 and 12 inch width, should be 3/4 inch more tire to stick out from where it does now.
Either tire will work on the 8.5 rim, altho the narrow rim will tend to make the tread on the ag tire convex rather than flat. if you are entering garden tractor pulls you will do better with a wider rim.
I wouldn't bother with two sets tho.. either size will work fine, especially if you add weight.
