First, let's make sure we have the equipment straight! GRAIN WAGON or Gravity Wagon is used to transport grain from FIELD EDGE to grain elevator or bin on farmer's property. Grain Wagons are used primarily OFF FIELD. GRAIN CART is used to transport...
What is an IF & VF Ag Tire and how can it effect yield? Definitions IF is abbreviation for Increased Flexion. Tire can carry 20% more load than standard tire at same air pressure. VF is the abbreviation for Very High Flexion. Tire can carry 40% more load...
What is going on with Implement Ag Tires? Topic of discussion is changing I-1 Free rolling multi-rib tire that is used on variety of towed implements. Old vs. New For decades the Bias Ply constructed 9.5L-15, 11L-15 and 12.5L-15 I-1 tires were staples of the...
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...
Concept Basic premise of improving yields with Ag tires is linked to more fully disbursing weight of equipment, reducing tire ground pressure, thus decreasing soil compaction. Methodology to more fully disburse equipment weight is increasing tire(s) footprint....
