Tyre offers significant reduction in soil compaction

Agrimax V-Flecto tyres in sizes VF 650/65 R42 and VF 540/65 R30 have received the ‘DLG-approved’ quality mark, BKT has announced. Both have achieved excellent results in the DLG test modules ‘Resource protection’ and ‘User friendliness’ that were both conducted in the fields.

The Agrimax V-Flecto tyres excelled due to their remarkable ability to get free of dirt during operations, resulting in less time spent on maintenance whilst increasing operational efficiency.

During the tests, Agrimax V-Flecto took up the least amount of soil compared to competitors, accounting for an 8% advantage over the nearest competitor and as much as 126% less soil compared to the least performing tyre.

During field and laboratory tests, the BKT tyres were found to have a larger footprint resulting in lower contact pressure, and consequently in less soil compaction.

At an inflation pressure of 0.6 bar, Agrimax V-Flecto showed ground pressure that was 16% lower than the other tested tyres – including premium and budget brands – as well as the lowest footprint depth. This outcome means a significant reduction in soil compaction, which is crucial for sustainable farming practices.
