Designed to ‘solve a conflict’ – Mitas’ Continental CHO tyre
At this week’s Agritechnica show in Germany, Mitas launched its latest cyclic harvest operation (CHO) tyres, which were developed together in “intensive cooperation” with farm machinery manufacturer Claas. The Continental CHO SVT is currently available in size 800/70 R32 CHO 175A8 and was, in the words of Hans-Ulrich Klose, head of Mitas’ Automotive Engineering unit, developed to “solve the conflict between compliance in road application and the increasing need for soil protection.” This is, Klose adds, a measure made necessary by the latest generation of high performance combine harvesters that are equipped with larger headers and bigger grain tanks.
