Mitas launches AGRITERRA 02 trailer tyres with inbuilt soil protection qualities along with VF technology
Mitas has released a radial tyre for all types of farm trailers and they have been designed to avoid soil compaction. The AGRITERRA 02 SP, with the SP denoting its soil protection qualities, is designed to be fitted to all current agricultural drawn trailers.
The tyre is available in a 560/60R22.5 IMP size and is the first in the AGRITERRA range to offer Very High Flexion (VF) technology.
The tyre is designed to provide farmers with decreased pressure on the ground and run on a larger footprint to avoid soil compaction.
“Due to its flexible and very strong VF sidewall construction, the AGRITERRA 02 SP enables safe operation at lower inflation pressures. This increases the tyre’s footprint by up to 25%, in turn reducing soil pressure by up to 20%. It enhances soil condition thanks to significantly reduced soil compaction,” explains Pavel Kott, Product Manager for Mitas agricultural tyres.
With its high load-carrying capacity and a maximum speed of 65kph, the AGRITERRA 02 SP means fewer transport trips are needed for loads and also enables fast on-road movement, providing significant time savings.
The tyre is suitable for on- and off-road use and has a self-cleaning capability that reduces road soiling when leaving the paddock.
Due to the special hexagonal bead wire, the tyre can operate at lower inflation without limiting its lifespan. Moreover, the AGRITERRA 02 SP tread pattern, with its rounded shoulders, is very gentle on grassland.
All these inbuilt functions work to deliver extra productivity benefits to farmers using agricultural trailers, spreaders, tankers, and other towing equipment.
“With the AGRITERRA 02 SP, we decided to offer the first trailer radial tyre enhanced with the VF technology we have been successfully using for many years, for example on our tractor tyres.
“This significantly improves the tyre’s characteristics, offering maximum soil protection together with higher load capacity, with a corresponding positive effect on operating efficiency in terms of money and time savings,” added Pavel Kott.
