Titan outlines the ABCs of agri tyre maintenance

The performance of equipment in the field can greatly impact productivity, and thus, bottom line.

Titan says that following the completion of spring planting, the time is right to inspect tyres and make necessary adjustments to ensure the rest of the season goes off without a hitch.

Solving road lope is easy, says Titan

Road lope is a rhythmic, ‘porpoising’ motion that develops at higher speeds or in road gear when a tractor is not pulling any significant load. It often occurs because a tyre or rim is not truly round. And it’s annoying; according to a recent US survey conducted on behalf of Titan Tire Corporation, approximately 47 per cent of growers (regardless of tyre brand they’re running) identify road lope as a problem they’re currently experiencing with their tractors and combines. This physical swaying and bouncing of the machine during road transport can result in extreme rider discomfort and inhibit the grower’s productivity between fields, however there are some simple solutions that growers should be aware of in order to rectify their road lope issues.
