Earlier in 2022 Michelin introduced the SprayBib CFO (Cyclic Field Operation) as successor to the SprayBib. It is now available in 14 sizes, including a new dimension: SprayBib CFO VF710/60R46. Designed for self-propelled sprayers, it is the first very-low-pressure flotation tyre in the SprayBib CFO line-up.
A new generation of Michelin tyres for self-propelled sprayers enables load capacities to increase by up to 13.5 per cent at speeds as high as 30 km/h or 18.5 mph. The Michelin SprayBib CFO introduces the Cyclical Field Operation standard to the VF range, and UK customers will be able to obtain this successor to the SprayBib in 12 sizes by December 2022.
James L Welsh & Sons specified Michelin SprayBib and XeoBib tyres for its Unimog sprayer five years ago. Now the Ayrshire-based farmer and contractor predicts the tyres will outlast the machine’s first full life in service. The hard-working ex-demonstrator Mercedes-Benz Unimog U400 was supplied by South Cave Tractors and has clocked up more than 6,000 hours in operation – and still has approximately 40 per cent of tread depth left on each set of tyres.
