18.4-26 Skidder Tires

The 18.4-26 is the smaller skidder tire — about 57 inches tall and 18 inches wide on a 26-inch rim. The 18.4 is the nominal section width in inches and the dash means bias construction. It is the standard fitment on smaller cable skidders. Match the size, ply rating, and rim of the tire you are replacing, and call (207) 370-8473 — we confirm fitment for your machine before you buy and quote current pricing by phone.

What Machines Run 18.4-26?

Smaller cable skidders — the working application for 18.4-26. Common on John Deere 440-series skidders, Timberjack 225 and 230-class skidders, Clark Ranger 664-class skidders, and similar smaller forestry machines. A swap up to 23.1-26 needs the wider DW20A rim and a clearance check — these smaller machines turn tight, so call us first and we will tell you straight whether it works. Run matched sets or matched pairs per axle so front and rear roll out together. Tell us your machine model when you call and we will confirm.
