Agrigear – for all your tyre and wheel requirements
Agrigear is the exclusive distributor of BKT tyres in Ireland, providing a comprehensive range of tyre solutions from agricultural to industrial, construction, mining, and quarrying applications.
Over the past 25 years, the Agrigear-BKT partnership has thrived, and this close longstanding relationship has enjoyed many mutual benefits, including the development of new tyre products particularly suited to the needs of the Irish user.
In both the replacement tyre sector and in the machinery manufacturing sector, BKT is a tyre of choice among farmers, contractors, machinery manufacturers and machinery traders throughout Ireland. Hailed as a leading tyre brand and offering high quality tyres at affordable prices, BKT has consistently proven to be at the top of its game in terms of product excellence and superior performance.
Featuring an extensive range of more than 3,600 stock lines, BKT tyre products are available countrywide through a network of stockists. Perhaps the most renowned tyre range in the agricultural tyre portfolio is the extremely popular Agrimax radial tyre collection.
The acclaimed BKT Agrimax range includes IF and VF technology tyres which offer huge benefits and savings to users. VF tyres have very increased or high flexibility in the sidewall and will carry 40 per cent heavier loads in comparison to standard radial tyres in the same size.
VF (Very High Flexion) essentially means that the tyre can flex more. These tyres are made from a special compound which means the sidewalls can flex. To do this, VF tyres need extra strong casings which allows them to flex in the right place, close to the tyre tread rather than the bead.
With this flexing, the tyre footprint grows which effectively spreads the load over a greater area and reduces the possibility of soil compaction.
The structural construction of VF tyres means they can run at much lower inflated tyre pressures than standard tyres. The increased footprint has other benefits too. The larger contact area gives better traction, and this reduction in slippage boosts efficiency overall, reducing fuel consumption, driver hours and time spent in the field. All these benefits combined make VF tyres a smart choice.
The increasing awareness about VF tyre technology has seen a huge interest in BKT’s award-winning Agrimax VF tyre range. There is growing common consensus among tyre users, that upgrading to a set of VF tractor wheels is a valuable investment, both in practical terms with improved productivity, and for the land, when seeing a favourable reduction in soil compaction. BKT’s VF tyres are available in a broad range of sizes in the Agrimax V-Flecto tyre pattern.
