| NOTES |
1: |
Figures in parentheses denote ply
rating for which
bold face 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 winching or grappling loads and weight transfer.
|
| 4: |
The above table applies only to log
skidder tires used on cable or grapple skidders with a maximum
speed of 5 MPH. For use on other types of logging or forestry
equipment or at speeds greater than 5 mph, refer to Table I.
|
| 5: |
When used as duals, tire loads must
be reduced. Multiply figures in Table by .88.
|
| 6: |
Consult rim and wheel manufacturer
for rims for this type of service.
