28L-26 Skidder Tires

The 28L-26 is the wide, low-profile skidder tire — about 66 inches tall and 27 inches wide on a 26-inch rim. The L means low profile: a wider footprint and more flotation than a 23.1-26 at about the same working height. It is the standard fitment on larger cable and grapple 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 28L-26?

Larger cable and grapple skidders — the wide-footprint application for 28L-26. Common on John Deere 648 and 748 series skidders, Caterpillar 518 and 525 series skidders, Tigercat 620-series skidders, Clark Ranger skidders, and similar large forestry machines. The 28L-26 is wider than a 23.1-26 at about the same height, so a swap needs the wider DW25A rim and a clearance check — 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.

We size skidder chains for 28L-26 — single and double diamond, ring and studded patterns. Heavy-duty tubes and custom-built wheels for 26-inch rims are available to match. Call (207) 370-8473 and we will size the chain to the tire you actually run.
