pages are based on Michelin XADN tire character-

Tire load can be calculated by the following formula:

Tire load = __________________

Example
Find the ground pressure generated by a 725 fully
loaded with zero and 76 mm (3") tire penetration.
The machine is equipped with standard Michelin
23.5R25 tires, inflated to the recommended pressure.

725 Tire Load = ________________ = 7426 kg

96,300 lb ⳯ 0.34
725 Tire Load = ________________ = 16,371 lb

From the tire section in this book, inflation pres-
sure for the 725 is 325 kPa = 3.25 bar (47 psi).
From the ground pressure chart for 23.5R25 tires,
Ground pressure = 3.1 kg/cm2 (44 psi) with zero tire
penetration.
Ground pressure = 1.4 kg/cm2 (21 psi) with 76 mm
(3") tire penetration.
