Maxam Tire has added VF sizes to its AgilXtra I3 range of agricultural implement flotation tyres. The new sizes are VF560/60 R22.5 and VF600/55 R26.5.
As the Sailun Group’s off-highway tyre division comments, the arrival of VF technology enables farmers and contractors to carry “heavier loads at high speeds” while “ensuring increased tyre traction and minimising soil compaction.” Maxam AgilXtra radial pairs a steel-belted construction with a directional tread design to ensure longer treadwear, improved stability, and high resistance to punctures or field hazards.
“Our optimised tread pattern ensures excellent field traction, roading, and self-cleaning while minimising vibrations at high transport speeds,” shares Maxam Tire. “Now coupled with VF Technology, our new sizes in the AgilXtra series will allow implements or tankers to either carry 40 per cent more tyre load at normal air pressures or operate at 40 per cent less air pressure for the same tyre load, significantly reducing ground pressure.”
Capable solutions for the agricultural industry
In a statement announcing the introduction of these AgilXtra I3 VF tyres, Maxam Tire confirms an ongoing commitment to “focus its efforts on developing VF technology solutions that can meet the challenge of mixed terrains, loads, applications, and high speeds without compromising performance or endurance.” The tyre maker is thus responding to market demand for equipment designed for higher productivity with VF tyres engineered to “meet the most demanding applications without compromising crop yields.”
“With the AgilXtra series now available in VF technology, once again Maxam meets its pledge to design the most capable solutions for the agricultural industry,” adds Greg Gilland, vice president of global agriculture at Maxam Tire. “The addition of VF technology to our AgriXtra family of products and now to our new AgilXtra I3 implement products is another symbol of Maxam’s commitment to delivering business solutions to the global agricultural market and for the future of the industry.”
