Continental extends agri-tyre portfolio

Continental is extending its radial portfolio for agricultural machinery this summer after revealing the names of its new tyre line-up.

The TractorMaster is the advanced tractor series 65 tyre and complements the standard tyres Tractor70 and Tractor85. In addition, the company will launch a harvester tyre in the size 800/65R32 178 A8 which will be called CombineMaster.

The names of the new tyres are in line with the naming concept of all Continental OTR tyres. Just like the port and earthmover tyres, the names connects the vehicle type used with the ending ‘Master’. The naming concept uses the logic of all Continental OTR tyres literally mastering the challenges of the specific vehicle they are developed for.

As a consequence of both launch and naming of the series 65 tractor tyre, the radial tyre TractorMaster for the use on terminal tractors in port applications will be renamed to TerminalMaster in summer.
