There are numerous elements that are likely to cause wear to your tractor tyres or puncture them. Stubble from certain crops may easily wear, damage or puncture your tyres during harvesting or stubble ploughing. This is not a systematic problem but rather a frequent problem for which there are simple solutions that you can adopt to avoid breakdowns. Corn stubble, for example, can cause major...
Even if vines or fruit trees in the orchard have deep roots, there is also a large part of their root system which is close to the surface to capture the moisture or micronutrients present in the arable layer of the soil which is much richer than the lower layers. The repeated circulation of agricultural machinery over the same spot over several years will compact the soil, block root...
There is a rising number of tractors or harvesters that are equipped with tracks, so it is natural to wonder whether it would be wise to opt for this type of equipment which has many benefits if you work with powerful machines and very large implements. However, technological advancements in the field of tyre manufacturing also make it possible to work with powerful machinery and it’s quite...
There are many technical notions concerning your agricultural tyres that are worth knowing and understanding, because they can help you improve the quality of your work and your yields. One such notion is the loaded radius, which designates the distance from the centre of the tyre and the ground. The shorter the distance, the better the traction, the more you preserve your soil and the less fuel...
Your existing implements have a pre-defined weight which you cannot change, and if you buy new implements they will logically be bigger to improve productivity and therefore certainly heavier. If you cannot modify the weight of each implement, you will have to compensate for this load by increasing the air pressure in your tyres. This is the usual choice that is made with standard tyres,...
There are many possible reasons that cause your agricultural machinery to vibrate, one of them being your tyres. These natural vibrations linked to the form of the lugs can either be very slight and without consequence if all the settings are correct, or really problematic if they lead to an increase of the tractor vibrations which is felt strongly in the cab. Furthermore, abnormal vibration of...
To win more customers you have to offer more than what a farmer can do alone, provide better quality, quick service, in short, a highly professional service. You know that the difference can easily be made by the quality of your equipment; with machines that are more recent and more powerful than average you will be able to draw wider implements and complete more operations in less time. Tyres...
Having powerful and sophisticated tractors, or high-capacity implements is not enough to really develop your productivity if you do not take into account the tyres which have an intermediary role between the machine and the ground, and allow you to make the most of your engine power. The tyre plays an essential role in the tractor’s overall efficiency and you must consider its capacities based...
The tyre is an essential part of your machine, which transmits engine power to the ground. When it comes to renewing your tyres, it’s always important to consider the choice of tyre technology. This choice depends on how you use your tractor, with it being crucial to distinguish between a tractor used for regular field crop operations in the fields and a tractor which is used in the farmyard or...
