Agrigear now stocking new Agrimax ProHarvest VF tyre
Agrigear has announced the arrival of BKT’s latest innovation – the Agrimax ProHarvest VF tyre, specifically engineered for combine harvesters to meet the demanding requirements of modern harvesting operations.
The harvesting season represents one of the most critical periods in the agricultural calendar for farmers and contractors. Heavy equipment like combine harvesters operate under challenging conditions, with tyres subjected to intense and continuous stress. This creates a dual challenge: maintaining operational efficiency while protecting valuable soil from compaction damage.
BKT’s new Agrimax ProHarvest VF tyre has been developed to tackle these challenges head-on, offering a solution that combines high performance, exceptional reliability, and environmental sustainability.
Advanced VF Technology for Superior Performance
The Agrimax ProHarvest VF tyre incorporates Very High Flexion (VF) technology, allowing it to carry up to 40 per cent more load than standard tyres at the same inflation pressure. This technological advancement enables:
- Wider and more even weight distribution on the ground
- Significantly reduced soil compaction risk
- Enhanced soil conservation, crucial for maintaining fertility and productivity
For farmers concerned about soil health and long-term field productivity, this represents a significant advancement in tyre technology.
Cyclic Field Operations (CFO) Technology
A standout feature of the Agrimax ProHarvest VF tyre is its CFO technology, which enables the tyre to tolerate temporary overloads beyond its rated capacity, such as when a harvester’s tank reaches maximum fill, and then return to standard operating conditions once the load is reduced. This prevents structural damage and ensures a longer product lifecycle.
Built for Durability in Demanding Conditions
Understanding the harsh realities of harvesting operations, BKT has engineered the Agrimax ProHarvest with exceptional durability features:
- Reinforced polyester casing combined with three layers of steel belts
- Superior resistance to deformation and mechanical stress
- Extended service life even under high and cyclic loads
- Specialised compound formulation providing high cut and chip resistance
- Enhanced protection against damage from stubble and abrasive materials
The innovative open-shoulder tread design improves traction on rough and wet terrain – a particularly valuable feature for Irish farming conditions – while enhancing self-cleaning properties for consistent performance.
