AG TIRE TALK KEY TAKEAWAYS MICHELIN: There are three primary options when it comes to lug angles of large Ag tires. Typical Ag tires are designed with a 45-degree lug angle; however, in the 1950s, Firestone introduced the 23-degree lug angle, and in the early...
QUESTION: Why is it important for AG Tires to have small slip percentage to optimize traction, what is recommended % of slip for MFWD & 4WD Tractors, and how do tire physics and slip ratios differ from tracks? AG Tire...
Below is question posed to tire manufacturers from Illinois: In 4WD Tractor application, if implement requires 550 hp and standard duals are not providing adequate traction (can’t go wider with triples), what is your recommendation and how does it compare to tracks on...
Concept Basic premise of better traction and reducing fuel is linked to increasing volume of pulling lugs on the ground and increasing tire(s) footprint. Footprint = Surface area of tire in contact with the ground. Below is basic detail on how to increase tire...
