Agricultural tyres are generally pretty tough and resistant to heavy loads. During harvesting for example, the tyres of your trailers carry heavy loads and your tractor, to which you add increasingly heavy tools, must be capable of handling this increased weight.
However, you must be careful never to exceed the manufacture’s recommendations, the axle load limits and the maximum loaded speed...
Adapting your tyres to your farming activities will enable you to make savings; in one year you could save several thousand euro.
Savings in working time, fuel consumption, maintenance and repairs, in operating losses and in investment costs.
By controlling the technical elements of your tyres, you can make real savings.
Choosing the right type of tractor or agricultural tyre is not something to be taken lightly. Tyres are costly and have a direct impact on your productivity. If the type you choose is unsuitable to your activities, you will either wear it out quickly or pay too much for it.
To find the tyre that’s most suitable for your tractor, ou should start by looking at how you will use your tyres, to...
To reduce your agricultural tyre budget and prevent your tyres from wearing too rapidly you need to adapt your choice of tyre and adjust your tyres optimally, making it essential to know the loads applied to each axle of your vehicle. It is the load that effectively determines the degree of pressure to your tyres and as such their wear...
In general, your tractor’s pulling power is associated only with its engine power. However, tyres play a fundamental role in improving traction and are widely underestimated or neglected. It is the tyres which transmit your tractor’s power to the ground to generate the tractive force. Your tyres are therefore the sole link between vehicle and ground.
Are your certain that you always know your tractor’s braking capacity? When you drive with a full trailer, have you asked yourself what stopping distance is necessary in the event of emergency braking? Your tractor tyres play a decisive role in your capacity to brake rapidly and certain tyres can help you win a few meters whereas others require almost double the distance for your trailer to come...
The air pressure in your tractor tyres, the choice of associated technology, the general condition of your tractor are all factors which allow you to carry out your daily tasks in the best possible safety conditions.
Preparing the structure of the soil is vital to ensure your next crop emerges rapidly and regularly and to facilitate the circulation of vehicles and tooling. Unfortunately, a bad choice of tyre, incorrect tyre pressure or ill-adapted tyre size may squash your ploughing work and result in excessive soil compaction, leading to an uneven surface and overly compacted areas which will reduce the...
After the main harvest, there is still a lot of work to do for many. Silage work, beetroot or potato harvests follow and represent periods of intense activity for you and your equipment. During these harvests, your trailers have to transport heavy loads and the harvesting machinery used is very heavy, which means that your tyres are under enormous pressure, thus accelerating wear and tear.
