In certain applications (such as load and carry) the loader’s productive capabilities might exceed the tires’ tonnes-km/h capabilities.
Caterpillar recommends that you consult a tire supplier to evaluate all conditions before selecting a tire model.
The 26.5-25 size range and other special tires are available
on request.
