Tight control of fuel consumption is at the heart of agricultural concerns, since fuel can represent up to 30% of your annual operating budget. Many factors influence this consumption; speed naturally, but also the type of land, the weather conditions, the choice of crop growing methods and habits in terms of machine use. But among these elements, the role of the tyre is often underestimated. In...

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...

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...

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...

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.

Did you know that that most incidents involving harvesting tyres occur at the very beginning of the season and that the issues arising are generally the consequences of a problem encountered during the previous season? A minor impact to the sidewall, improper storage during the winter, driving with an excess load during the preceding harvest often lead to weak points which could result in the...

When you decide to change tyre size, it’s to obtain more longitudinal traction, less compaction and therefore better care for your soil. If you make the decision to increase tyre size, it’s to improve the performance of your tractor, but be careful in terms of the mechanical performance of agricultural tyres… Behind this little known notion lies the question of lead, which is an essential aspect...

Agricultural tyres, while often neglected, are a key part of your business equipment. Whether for working in the fields, transport by road or manoeuvres in the farm courtyard, their role is decisive in ensuring the smooth running of your operations. A puncture while working or a breakdown can rapidly transform your day into a nightmare: immobilisation of the tractor, loss of time and money or...

If you do multiple trips by tractor between field, farm and the cooperative, the reliability of your tyres is crucial. We tend to concentrate too often on tyre performance in the fields, yet it is just as important to look at how they handle on the road. Agricultural tyres face very specific types of strain during braking or cornering and their capacity to keep a good grip and maintain optimal...
