Launches BKT tires tailored to works of henificado

The BKT firm has developed different ranges of special tires for henificado operations and therefore suitable for agricultural machinery such as combines, hay bales dams and telescopic elevators.

The main features of the brand BKT tires specially adapted to henificado operations are: optimum traction, reduced soil compaction, high load capacity, resistant to the most arid areas and maximum driving comfort.

BKT is currently one of the leading producers in the world of Off-Highway tires (Off-Highway), just as shown by these ranges dedicated to operations of henificado: from harvest to handling hay. The complex demands of modern agriculture are in the range of BKT tires a concrete answer for every need, task and situation and satisfies the goal of making more comfortable work and constantly improve farmer productivity.

Adapted to the needs of the crop

Designed for high power harvesters and spreaders, the tire model Agrimax Teris has optimal flotation characteristics that ensure better land protection and maximum performance for harvest and can withstand very high loads. Innovative and at the forefront, this radial tire is distinguished by exceptional traction and stability, guaranteed by optimizing the geometry of the blocks and reinforced shoulder. Furthermore, Agrimax Teris is exceptionally resistant to cuts and impacts due, for example, to the presence of residues in the soil, thus ensuring the duration of the life cycle and reducing periods of immobilisation of the machine. The measures developed for this important range are numerous: 620/75 R 26, 750/65 R 26, 620/75 R 30, 650/75 R 32, 800/65 R 32, 900/60 R 32, R 1050-1050 32 and 520/85 R42.

Agrimax Teris also has a version equipped with IF technology – to the extent IF 580/80 R 34 – designed to carry heavy loads at low pressures and offer greater traction in the field.

Besides being ideal for harvesters and spreaders, Agrimax RT 600, radial tire, is also particularly suitable for areas that require great care and attention. Its characteristics have been studied to the smallest detail to ensure the least possible impact on the ground, but without sacrificing other important aspects: indeed, this tire is a perfect blend of excellent load capacity, optimum stability and high traction. The measures currently available on the market are three: 620/75 R 26 (last novelty presented at the recent fair Reifen Essen), 800/65 R 32 and R 32 finally 1050-1050.

For mowing and baling of hay bales

Mowers and hay bales presses require delicate tires on the ground to reduce compaction, but also resistant to cuts and impacts with stubble.

Precisely these are the hallmarks of FL 635, tire BKT Flotation range. Its extraordinary buoyancy behaves less impact on the field during harvesting, preserving the ground for successive cultivations. It is perfect for use in the field and on the road, making it ideal for frequent shifts mowers and presses. Indeed, none of this tire has been left to chance, even the special design of blocks of the tread has been developed specifically for press applications hay. FL 635 is available in the R 22.5, 650/55 R 22.5 and 750/45 R 22.5 620/40 measures.

Another important solution, provided for harvesters and presses for hay bales, is AW 711. Equipped with a band of unique tread is formed by a truly special blend that makes AW 711 is extremely durable, both on soft surfaces on the hardest. During roading, low rolling resistance translates into significant savings in fuel consumption, with a significant increase in productivity. AW 711 BKT proposed in five different versions: 340/60 R 16.5, 380/55 R 16.5, 400/60 R 18, 440/55 R 15 R 18 and 19.5.

Handling hay harvest

Upon completion operations mowed and harvested, hay and forage have to be handled and transported. BKT has analyzed with extreme attention these operations, creating ad hoc tires for telescopic elevators, meeting their different needs, such as a high load capacity, stability and great resistance.

A perfectly meets these requirements Multimax MP 522, a multi-purpose radial tire, ideal in both sectors, both agricultural and industrial, capable of guaranteeing the best performance in all conditions of use and load. The tire is distinguished by superior traction thanks to drawing particularly aggressive tread. Therefore, nothing can stop this tire used in handling loads and available in sizes: 280/80 R 18, 340/80 R 18, 380/75 R 20, 400/70 R 20, 400/70 R 24, 400/80 R 24, 460/70 R 24 and 500/70 R 24.

Moreover, Agro Industrial RT 747 is distinguished by exceptional versatility. The agro-industrial radial tire offers outstanding stability, plus excellent grip, making it perfect for use in the triads, shovels and telescopic compact wheels. Equipped with extra wide cleats for maximum stability, RT 747 Industrial Agro, is available in two variants 460/70 R 24 and 500/70 R 24, is a perfect multipurpose tire, which may be a valid support in many applications .

Through this wide range, the working philosophy of BKT, based on a strategy of listening and collaboration with the user, to provide increasingly innovative solutions that meet the real needs of a market in constant growth and evolution is observed.
