A tire handling system for removing, transporting and replacing a large tire on a vehicle, such as a farm tractor or other large machinery, is disclosed. The system includes a platform for attachment to a vehicle, such as a forklift, a grapple for engaging and securing a large tire, and a connector between the platform and the grapple for allowing pivoting and rotation of the grapple to facilitate handling of the tire. Hydraulic pistons are used to pivot the grapple and move adjustable arms to tightly and safely bind the tire within engagement brackets of the grapple. The combination of the lift movement, including the up and down of the fork, and the grapple pivoting and rotation, allows large tires to be removed from, transported and replaced on vehicles more effectively, efficiently and safely than any prior system and method.
