Ascenso’s 9 must-knows for choosing the ideal agri tyre
Agricultural equipment plays a vital role in a farmer’s life and finding the ideal tyre for your machinery can seem like a tiresome task. Even a minor mistake can make your machinery less efficient, so there is no scope for anything but the best.
Here are Ascenso Tyres’ nine must-know parameters for choosing the ideal tyre for agricultural applications:
1. Tread Design
Tread depth can facilitate safer driving, better handling, and a more comfortable ride. Choose a tyre with an optimum tread design for better grip. A deeper tread would ensure maximum performance in the field and on-road operations.
2. Traction & Features
A tyre that ensures better self-cleaning and maximum traction allows improved grip and reduced slippage. Moreover, a tyre with greater lug overlap will provide a safe and comfortable ride even at high speeds.
3. Tyre Lifespan
When consumers ask, “how long should my tyres last,” they expect a concrete answer. But there is no definite way to say how long a tyre will endure. A tyre’s lifespan and mileage are determined by several factors, including its design, the driver’s habits, the environment, the road conditions, the terrain, and the amount of care given to the tyres.
4. Tyres Warranty
Unlike other products that offer a warranty for between three- to 12-months, tyre warranties cover tyres for many years, generally until your tyres reach a certain mileage or tread depth. So, check the tyre warranty before purchasing your agricultural tyre because it’s better to be worry-free when it comes to tyres.
5. Replacement Claim
One can claim a replacement on Ascenso Tyres if there is any manufacturing defect, and a certain amount will be based on the tyre’s warranty policy.
6. Applications
Look for a tyre that is suitable for cutting-edge tractors for several heavy-duty applications such as soil tillage, field and road transport, vineyard harvesting, and spraying.
7. Versatility
The tyre’s efficiency in the field can be measured by its ability to transfer the torque of high-powered tractors to the ground. On the road, high speed rated with large lugs and higher centre lugs allow long service life, and low-rolling resistance rubber mix enables fuel efficiency.
8. Comfort & Handling
When looking for the perfect tyre for agricultural application/machinery, choose a multi-angle tyre for better roadability and maximum traction.
9. Performance
Performance is one of the key parameters to consider when buying an ideal tyre. Opt for a tyre with a flat, stable tread to spread heavy loads evenly across the footprint. The increased amount of rubber volume enhances its stiffness, resulting in better wear resistance.
The XLR 880
Ascenso Tyres claims its XLR 880 is the best product in the agriculture sector. This is a tubeless (TL) tyre with an optimum tread design. The tread depth of the tyre R-1W is more than 20 per cent deeper than the same sized R-1 tyre.
Moreover, the XLR 880 is the first agricultural tyre with dual mud breakers in the industry, according to Ascenso. It is available in nine different sizes, with a warranty policy of seven-years.
Ascenso says the tyre is the perfect companion not just in the field but also for on-road transport. The centre lug angle 45 degree design of the XLR 880 OTR tyre gives better roadability and smooth ride on the road up to 65km/h.
What’s more, Ascenso says the shoulder lug angle 30 degree design delivers exceptional traction.
Ascenso is a rapidly growing off-highway tyre brand owned and promoted by Mahansaria Tyres Private Limited (MTPL). It is the third such venture by the renowned Mahansaria family.
