Michelin has announced the launch of its latest range of tires – Agribib Row Crop IF -aimed at the agricultural market.
The tires will be manufactured at the company’s Troyes plant in France and have been specifically designed for use on self-propelled and trailered sprayers, as well as on low to medium-horsepower row crop tractors ranging from 70ps to 182ps.
All of the tires in the range use Michelin’s Ultraflex technology, which creates a larger tire footprint to help protect soil against compaction and improves traction at the same time. They also feature strengthened sidewalls to enable them to operate at lower air pressures. The design aims to protect soil and improve crop yield and productivity.
According to the company, the Agribib Row Crop IF will offer farmers and contractors major benefits, including a higher load capacity due to its improved flexion casing as standard, a reduction in soil compaction thanks to a 20% larger ground contact area, and increased traction due to 14% greater lug contact in the tread pattern and a deeper R1W standard tread.
