| NOTES |
1: |
Figures in parentheses denote ply rating
for which boldface loads and inflations are maximum. |
| 2: |
For shipping purposes, tire
inflation pressures may be increased to 30 psi.
(Consult tire manufacturer for minimum tire shipping pressure.)
This higher inflation pressure must be reduced to operating
inflation pressure BEFORE the skidder is removed from the
carrier. |
| 3: |
"Tire Load Limit"
for log skidders is defined as the maximum load for an
individual
tire due to the total radial forces imposed on the tire DURING
OPERATION.
This maximum load includes total vehicle weight with
accessories plus load
increases
due to log winching or grappling loads and weight
transfers. |
| 4 |
For grapple and cable
skidders, refer to
Table J. |
| 5 |
For load and carry type of
logging
operations such as loaders equipped
with log forks and feller-bunchers, with maximum speed of 5
mph.
above tire load limits may be increased 50% (with 5 psi
increase in
inflation pressure). Maximum length of carry is 500 feet. |
| 6 |
When used as duals, tire
loads must be reduced.
Multiply figures in table by .88. |
| 7 |
Consult rim and wheel
manufacturer for
rims for this type of service. |

For transport service and
operations that
do not require sustained high torque,
the load limits shown to the right at various speeds
apply: |
