BKT ALWAYS BY THE FARMERS’ SIDE - THIS IS HOW HAYMAKING COMES WITHIN EVERYONE’S REACH

It is summer in many parts of the world, and agriculture never stands still. In fact, the hottest season of the year is a time of intense work for farmers dealing with multiple activities from soil preparation to planting. A central activity is certainly haymaking. To best handle this job, operators rely on a wide range of machinery such as mowers, balers, trailers, tractors, and telehandlers. Each piece of equipment requires tires that provide excellent performance enabling users to constantly improve productivity. BKT caters for these needs by developing tires that provide excellent traction, reduced soil compaction, high load capacity, excellent durability along with great driving comfort. Thus, the Indian multinational companywhich has been attentive to listening to, taking up, and meeting the requests of field operators ever since - becomes the best ally for farmers, assisting them during every haymaking stage with products designed for the wide range of machinery operating in this season.

BKT's main solutions for haymaking include the versatile top-of-the-range product AGRIMAX FORCE that is perfect for being fitted on high-power tractors and combines. The tire features IF technology, i.e., it is able to carry heavy loads at a lower inflation pressure than a standard tire ensuring hence reduced soil compaction. AGRIMAX FORCE provides excellent traction in addition to top self-cleaning properties and best fuel economy making the tire a perfect ally for farmers. Part of the AGRIMAX range, too, is AGRIMAX TERIS, likewise suitable for high-power harvesters. This BKT tire has been designed for combined operations in which traction and high load capacity turn into outstanding performance. AGRIMAX FORCE has a special sidewall protector and a reinforced shoulder for increased resistance even under difficult conditions and in the presence of stubbles, extending remarkably the product life-cycle. Another important product is AW 711, a radial tire for combine harvesters but also designed to adapt to the usage in modern agriculture, and in particular for soil tillage operations. The special tread compound ensures a long product life-cycle, whether used on soft or hard surfaces. In addition, the low rolling resistance during road transfer ensures significant fuel savings.

For lifting operations, instead, which are crucial during the final haymaking stages, BKT offers its MULTIMAX range, which includes tires that operate best with telescopic handlers. A perfect example is MULTIMAX MP 522, a tire providing excellent stability and traction along with exceptional puncture resistance. Particularly resistant to cuts and tears is MULTIMAX MP 527 featuring a robust sidewall to ensure extraordinary stability in lift mode providing maximum handling freedom to operators.

Not to be missed is AS 504, a tire to be fitted either on telehandlers or trailers boasting exceptional durability and traction, as well as top self-cleaning properties.
