Common on John Deere 440-series skidders, Timberjack 230-class skidders, Clark Ranger 664-class skidders, and similar smaller forestry machines. A swap to 18.4-26 needs a rim change — W15L on the 16.9-30 versus DW16A on the 18.4-26 — and a clearance check, so call us first and we will tell you straight whether it works.
