You can forget about unwanted situations by selecting a high quality tire such as the BKT FS 216. This model is excellent for log skidder machines, offering superior performance and durability in a wide range of settings. Its innovative tread design and tough build are specifically optimized for forestry operations.
First of all, the BKT FS 216 comes with a directional tread pattern that grants the best traction and stability. The optimum lug angle helps in creating numerous biting edges that boost grip and handling response in harsh conditions. Besides, the wide footprint evenly spreads load pressure on the surface, leading to higher flotation. This combats soil compaction, thus keeping the forest safe. In addition, the chip and cut resistant rubber compound minimizes wear and tear from constant work, promoting a long service life without issues. Equally important, it lowers the rolling resistance of the tire, resulting in better fuel economy for the skidder.
What's more, the BKT FS 216 is available in both tubed and tubeless options, promoting versatility. The tubeless versions increase flotation and prevent air leaks by securing a tight rim fit. On the other hand, the tubed builds add an extra layer of protection against deep cuts and punctures. The model's high void ratio decreases the chances of clogging or slipping by evacuating mud, debris, and other ground parts from the footprint. A durable sidewall build upgrades the load capacity while protecting the rim from damage. Hence, a single tire can safely handle weights of up to 25,350 lbs, depending on size, inflation pressure, and speed. Lastly, this model is available on the market in popular sizes with rim diameters ranging between 26" and 34".
