Firestone launches agricultural sprayer tyre
Firestone has announced details of its first tyre for the agricultural sprayer market, the Performer Row Crop. Displayed for the first time at SIMA 2013 in size 270/95R48, Firestone will expand the Performer Row Crop tyre size line up to include 85, 90 and 95 series in the near future. “Firestone concentrates on solutions that give farmers a more efficient and sustainable way of working, through savings in fuel consumption and working time” says Harald Van Ooteghem, senior manager marketing planning, Bridgestone Europe.
The Performer Row Crop is designed to provide maximum efficiency in the field and on the road through their high load-carrying capacity and high speed index, Firestone says, enabling farmers to use large tanks and save time in spraying operations.
On the road, the tyre is also designed for increased efficiency with a high speed index. The tyre has a dual angle lug drive pattern to allow greater speed over all ground conditions. Firestone also claims the tyre demonstrates excellent accuracy, providing good ride comfort and steering response, even at these higher speeds.
