Mitas took part in the 58th National Farm Machinery Show in February 14 to 17 in Louisville (Kentucky), a perfect place for agricultural experts to discover a wide range of radial tyres made to help farmers and municipalities handle day-to-day operations, no matter the machinery.
Mitas featured tyres that give farmers a big boost in load capacity, flotation and ground protection, with larger footprints that deliver larger yields, more safety and stability for operators, and greater flexibility to handle large capacity loads more efficiently.
Pavel Kott, Product Manager Mitas agricultural tyres says: “All of us at Mitas have been working to give farmers solid tyres in terms of new equipment, better traction, and longer service life. At NFMS, farmers saw four exceptional tyres made to manage even the most specific, heavy or all-season operations – Mitas High Capacity Municipal (HCM), HC 1000, AGRITERRA 02 Soil Protector (SP) and AC 85. They all aim to deliver extra strength and more flexibility to North American agriculture.”
The newest tyres on display brought several benefits to farm, forest and municipal workers. The AGRITERRA 02 SP tyre offers more soil protection due to its advanced VF (Very High Flexion) sidewall construction. Now with a 25% larger footprint than before, it ensures safe operation at lower tyre pressure. In fact, the entire AGRITERRA line has been developed to significantly reduce soil compaction even with heavy loads.
The HC 1000 NRO (Narrow Rim Option) is made especially for today’s self-propelled agricultural sprayers. This radial flotation tyre gives farmers up to 40% higher load capacity, increased flotation and ground protection due to both the NRO’s special construction and advanced VF feature. Its optimised tread pattern and more lugs reduce soil compaction even further. And, longer life, better durability and less fuel consumption means cost savings for farmers.
For a durable radial tyre that works hard in the field and on the road, the AC 85 row crop radial has a wear-resistant tread compound to match a wide range of applications. Its large contact area gives excellent traction and long-lasting support for a wide range of tasks and on-road rides. And for all-season jobs, the Mitas HCM tyre gives great traction on hard surfaces, mud and in snowy conditions. It’s an ideal silent running tyre for municipal and road maintenance tractors and telehandlers with loaders and more. Its radial construction is steel-belted for high durability, with operators counting on good steering, self-cleaning and smooth operations.
