You have chosen to apply good crop practices to protect yields on your land on a long-term basis, rather than resorting to intensive farming which depletes your soil. Sustainable farming takes greater account of all the aspects of your environment; earth, seeds, treatments, machines, fuel and tyres… When we talk of the environmental impact of agricultural tyres, we tend to think only of...

The calculation of the load transfer to your agricultural tyres is absolutely vital to ensure that your equipment performs well and to preserve soil quality. Poor management of load and too much load transfer to the axles can cause major problems: soil compaction, slippage, premature tyre wear and damage. For farmers, too much load not only compromises the efficiency of operations, it also leads...

In wet conditions, work in the fields can easily become problematic when you don’t have the self-cleaning capacity of your tractor tyres or implements under tight control. Slip effectively always begins with too much earth accumulating between the tyre lugs without you really knowing why. Yet when you start to slip, working gets complicated, the tyres seal over the soil, there is loss of...

When you buy a new tractor, the first instinct is almost always the same: choose the right engine power, compare optional features, study the electronic appliances… However, a decisive element for actual tractor efficiency is often given a lower priority: the tyres. This choice, though wrongly considered as secondary, has much more influence than just for driving comfort. It affects...

Difficult weather conditions are only to be expected for many farmers. Abundant rain, waterlogged soil and muddy land make working in the fields quite tricky. You have most likely already experienced these frustrating situations: incessant slippage which slows down your work rate, fuel consumption on the rise, or even ruts and soil compaction which compromise future harvests. These issues, far...

On all agricultural farms, the telehandler has become an essential tool. Versatile, powerful and agile, it takes care of fodder handling, skip loading, pallet moving or building maintenance on a daily basis. It forms the real backbone of work on the farm, often operating for many hours per day, on varied surfaces: concrete, gravel, earth or even mud. But the performance of these machines depends...

The budget for replacing your tractor tyres can be greatly reduced, not by buying lower quality, discount agricultural tyres, but by inspecting your tyres regularly and understanding why they wear out so quickly.

Your combine-harvester only comes out a few weeks at a time, then is put aside for the rest of the year. During this period, its agricultural tyres, which are often relatively new and in very good condition, are unused. Which brings up an interesting idea: why not fit these harvester tyres on your tractor which is used all year round? After all, it could prevent you from having to buy an extra...

Did you know that you could extend the useful life of your agricultural tyres considerably simply by following the indications which are inscribed on your tyres, such as the load and speed index? You can also make your tyres last longer by maintaining them properly and by managing their storage better when they are not being used.
