BKT have launched AGRIFORCE BK T71, the first of a brand-new series of BKT rubber tracks for the farming sector and, in this case, particularly for high-power tractors employed in soil tillage and row crop applications.
BKT knows tracks can be more functional compared to tyres. This is why the company has decided to further extend its already large product range by adding a new product category.
The overall advantage of rubber tracks enhanced productivity and performance as track-driven tractors can run at higher speeds in the fields at the same power and show increased fuel efficiency.
There are many features including the tread of AGRIFORCE BK T71 that is made of a high-performance compound that offers the advantage of extraordinary resistance against cuts, wear and tear. The optimised tread pattern provides excellent traction and ride comfort, whilst the drive lugs of the positive drive system have an optimised shape to ensure extraordinary flexibility. In addition, the track carcass has been reinforced with four layers of high-tensile steel cords. Thanks to these features, AGRIFORCE BK T71 offers the perfect balance between high dimensional stability and flexibility to ensure extraordinary durability.
The new product AGRIFORCE BK T71 is on the market in size 18″ x 6″ x 44. An additional four size versions are already under development.
Like all BKT products, this development stems from dialog with users, their feedback and needs, but it is also a result of BKT’s strong commitment to develop an extraordinarily rich and specialised product portfolio for any requirements.
BKT has invested in the setup of a new specific track manufacturing plan at the Bhuj production site in India.
AGRIFORCE BK T71 is the first of a long series of tracks already scheduled in BKT’s development plan. The company is working on the upcoming release of new rubber tracks not only for agriculture but also the construction sector.
