30.5L-32 Skidder Tires

The 30.5L-32 is the big low-profile skidder tire — about 73 inches tall and 30 inches wide on a 32-inch rim. The L means low profile: a wider footprint and more flotation for the largest cable and grapple skidders. It is the standard fitment on large grapple skidders and heavy forestry machines. 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 30.5L-32?

Large cable and grapple skidders — the big-footprint application for 30.5L-32. Common on John Deere 648, 748 and 848 series skidders, Caterpillar 525, 535 and 545 series skidders, Tigercat 620 and 630 series skidders, Clark Ranger skidders, and similar large forestry machines. The 30.5L-32 runs on a DH27 rim — a swap from a smaller size needs the right 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.
