Nokian Forest King F2 gets the job done

In forestry, productivity is crucial. The extensive damage and clean up to forested areas in the wake of Storm Éowyn is testament to this. Demand for more productive equipment is pushing machine manufacturers to develop forwarders capable of transporting more wood with fewer driving cycles.

Available in Ireland through Mileage Tyres, the Nokian Tyres Forest King F2 has been designed for harvesters and forwarders used in the forestry industry, and provides tested, better track grip for demanding forestry work. Designed especially for tracks, the Forest King F2 complements even the heaviest of forestry machinery.

Designed for tracks
During product development, special attention has been paid to making the tire work well with tracks. The traction between the tire and track has been improved by increasing the straight section of the ribs and the grooves on the centre part. Together with the shape of the shoulders, the new pattern improves support for the tracks and helps them stay on.

Reduced Stress
The Nokian Tyres Forest King F2 tyre offers perfect track support at every point, keeping the track crossbars straight on the surface of the tyre. The track does not need to be so tensed, which reduces the stress on the tyres and bogies.

Improved Puncture Resistance
The puncture protection of Nokian Tyres Forest King F2 tyre has been improved by increasing the material strength on the tyre shoulders. This makes it ideal for demanding forestry work.

New Size
The introduction of the new 30.5-inch tyre size is an important advancement for the forestry industry. Nokian said the new Forest King F2 tyre size is a direct response to the aforementioned demand, offering increased load capacity and improved performance to meet the needs of the latest generation of forwarders.

VF tyres
For soil-friendly and efficient field work, Nokian Tyres presents its VF (Very High Flexion) tyres for tractor and trailer use. Both feature the Flexforce VF technology, which has been proven to increase efficiency while reducing fuel consumption.

Soil King VF
The Soil King VF is the first tyre for high-powered tractors utilising the new Flexforce VF tyre technology. It has been tested by the highly regarded DLG or Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft. The comparison against other premium agricultural tyres proved its best-in-class performance in field and transport work with lower wheel slip and fuel consumption and a larger treated area per hour.

Float King VF
The Float King VF is a new tyre for high-capacity trailers and tankers utilising the Flexforce tyre technology. It has proven exceptional efficiency with flotation and grip in challenging soil conditions.
