The creation of ruts is a problem that frequently arises in orchards, vineyards and forest environments, where there are repetitive passages of farm machinery on the same spots during treatment and harvesting periods, sometimes in wet conditions.
Ruts can also occur in field crop contexts. Rut creation is often confused with soil compaction and while the two are related, they are usually not...
During wood hauling operations in the forest, choose forestry tyres that are adapted to your needs in order to improve work efficiency. During logging, once the trees have been cut, hauling operations take place to transport the felled trees to their storage area.
The forestry tyre represents a sensitive stage of operations. In the old days, wood hauling was done using horses, whereas nowadays...
Slippage, compaction or the formation of ruts are often the result of a bad choice of agricultural tyre or the wrong adjustment of the tyres which is not always easy to detect. A close look at your tractor tyre footprint can help you to easily diagnose the use of unsuitable equipment, badly adjusted settings or excessive wear.
Fuel represents an important line in a farm budget (whatever the type of farm). It effectively represents 30% of the global energy consumption in agriculture. To improve your economic performance, it is therefore vital to exercise tight control over fuel costs. For this, several equipment related aspects can be optimised, in particular in relation to your agricultural tyres.
For your security, your comfort, the protection of your soil and your budget, the choice of tyres for your combine harvester is hugely important to enable you to work in the best conditions.
A few months have gone by since the beginning of your agricultural campaign and the condition of your harvester tyres may have deteriorated. For your safety, a tyre check-up is essential before the next harvest. This can be done in less than 10 minutes!
Several different tyres may suit the tractor for soil preparation work. Wide tyres or dual tyres: which equipment offers the best efficiency?
There are several advantages to using dual tyres on a tractor. Firstly, it reduces pressure to the ground. As the weight of the tractor is spread over two tyres instead of one, the pressure to the ground is effectively reduced.
Harvest is nearly here; you have just inspected your trailer tyres which have been resting all winter. You may have noticed that they will soon need to be changed, but you don’t know which tyres to replace them with.
Here are a few indications to determine which agricultural tyres will be best suited to your trailer and to other machines such as your sprayer or slurry tanker.
