The ECHO X3 Skid Steer Tire Handler is the next generation of skid steer tire handling attachments designed to safely lift, rotate, and install large agricultural and heavy equipment tires. Built with the same proven design as the original Echo Handler, the X3 introduces three hydraulically adjustable legs and improved control to make handling oversized tires easier and more precise.
Handle 48–100+” tires with its heavy-duty 8,000 lb axle spindle, 3,500 lb working load rating, and 30° rotation capability, the Echo X3 allows operators to maneuver large tires around fenders and accurately align wheel studs during installation.
Whether you’re servicing tractors, sprayers, or heavy equipment tires, the Echo Handler X3 helps reduce labor, improve safety, and speed up tire changes using your skid steer.
What hydraulic flow and pressure does the X3 require?
The X3 is designed to run on low to standard flow machines, with as little as 5+ GPM auxiliary hydraulics.
Will this run on smaller machines or anything with auxiliary hydraulics?
In most cases, yes. If your machine can run a grapple or auger, it can typically run the X3.
That said, hydraulic flow and lifting capacity are two different things – smaller machines may operate the attachment but be limited when handling larger or heavier tires.
Can I run this on machines other than skid steers?
Yes. The X3 can be used on:
As long as the machine has aux hydraulics (5+ GPM) and a skid steer quick attach or Euro/Global mount (adapter may be required) and the lift capacity to carry the tire.
How does the X3 handle offset loads or uneven tire weight?
The three independent hydraulic legs allow you to center and stabilize uneven loads like liquid-filled tires or mounted assemblies, reducing slip and improving control.
How precise is the rotation when aligning lug holes?
The X3 offers 30° rotation left and right, allowing you to line up lug holes without constantly repositioning the machine.
Does the X3 require case drain or additional hydraulic hookups?
No. It runs off standard auxiliary hydraulics using flat-face couplers, making it plug-and-play on most machines.
The ECHO Handler X3 is designed to work with a wide range of equipment, as long as the machine is equipped with:
All ECHO attachments are backed by a 2-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship from the original purchase date – twice the length of standard industry coverage.

If something goes wrong, you deal directly with ECHO. No runaround – just real support from people who built the product and stand behind it.
Improves safety
Handling large agricultural tires can be dangerous. The Echo Handler X3 allows operators to lift and position heavy tires without manual handling.
Saves time
Hydraulic grabber arms and manual rotation allow operators to quickly position tires and align wheel studs during installation.
Reduces labor
One operator can safely manage large tires that would normally require multiple people.
Greater control
The three hydraulic legs allow the tire to be positioned precisely for removal, installation, or stacking.
