Recognizing the challenge of balancing costs, productivity, and sustainable principles in farming, BKT’s latest range of high-tech tires has been designed to meet the specific needs of today’s farmers and reflects the company’s commitment to research and cutting-edge tire solutions.
The negative impacts of conventional tillage on soil structure and function are widely recognized in the agricultural sector, where focus has shifted to minimising the loss of nutrients and organic matter in the soil. As such, conservation tillage practices such as reduced tillage or no-tillage are becoming increasingly popular.
In line with the trend of soil preservation and low-disturbance cultivation, BKT offers numerous tire patterns for latest-generation tractors that enable farmers to transport heavier loads while avoiding soil compaction.
A high-end product suitable for both harvesting and transport operations is BKT’s Agrimax Force, which facilitates effective tillage even on hard soil. Thanks to its IF technology, these tires can carry heavy loads at a lower inflation pressure compared to standard tires, contributing to reduced soil compaction.
The Agrimax Force is well-suited to high-power tractors and combines, offering a comfortable experience, excellent traction, outstanding self-cleaning properties, and low fuel consumption. The range includes the IF 750/75 R 46 version with an impressive diameter of 2.30 metres.
Farmers can also rely on the Agrimax Fortis to deliver enhanced productivity and soil preservation. Featuring a reinforced nylon carcass, the product offers excellent traction and handling, along with the ability to transport heavy loads even at high speeds of up to 40 mph.
Meanwhile, the Agrimax RT 855 provides both superior driving comfort and traction, with its self-cleaning properties allowing a swift transition from field operations to road usage. It also features exceptional flotation properties on the ground that make the product ideal for safeguarding crop productivity.
Another tire incorporating high-end IF technology is the RIB 713, designed to prevent soil compaction by having a larger contact area on the soil combined with lower inflation pressure.
In addition, its steel-belted casing ensures excellent puncture resistance as well as protection against stubbles on the ground. Whereas, its “D” classified speed rating makes the tire a great choice for high-speed journeys of up to 40mph on the road.
Also included in BKT’s extensive range of low-impact tires are Agrimax RT 765, RT 857, and RT 657, all reflecting the company’s commitment to meeting farmers’ needs promptly and efficiently. Renowned for outstanding resistance, these tires provide superb protection against punctures, cuts and stubbles – inevitable risks when working on agricultural land.
