Sprayer Applications Targeted by New Goodyear Agri tyre

North American agricultural machinery operators can now take advantage of a new Goodyear Farm Tires range specifically designed for high clearance, self-propelled sprayers. Known as the ‘Ultra Sprayer’, the tyre features tread bars engineered to carry heavy sprayer loads and a wider lug to promote longer wear characteristics as compared to conventional tractor tyres. These design features, says Goodyear Farm Tires parent company Titan Tire, also provide more stability and a better ride when travelling from field-to-field at road speeds up to 30 mph. A significant increase in lug surface area helps improve lug wear, Titan adds, while increases in lug bracing and surface area combine to deliver improved durability, even under heavier loads. This design is also said to offer superior traction in the field.

“In the past, many manufacturers used conventional tractor tyres on self-propelled sprayers,” said Jeff Vasichek, vice president of sales and marketing. “Conventional rear tyres were not built to accommodate the high load and pressure demands of today’s self-propelled sprayers. The Ultra Sprayer line was designed specifically for this application.”

The range is available in 46-, 50- and 54-inch sizes and widths from 12.6 to 15.2 inches to accommodate row spacing from 20 to 36 inches.
