According to the latest industry statistics, a high-power agricultural tractor divides its operating hours 50 percent between field and road. This percentage also applies to agricultural trailers, but often heavily biased towards either road or field at different times. Trailers serving combine harvesters, for example, may cover only a few hundred meters in the field empty to reach the harvester but then travel several kilometers fully loaded to deliver the harvest to the farm. In other cases, the opposite occurs, such as when trailers are self-loading. Consequently, it’s difficult for a single type of tire to ensure maximum efficiency in every usage condition.
Bkt “RideMax FI 693 M”: a tire for every use
Therefore, it’s not surprising that most tire manufacturers offer various models of “Floating” tires designed specifically for trailers. Bkt does so with its “RideMax” range, a product line featuring structures, treads, and compounds optimized for specific uses. Within this context, the “RideMax Fl 693 M” tires stand out, designed for those who frequently travel on roads with trailers or tanker trucks, as they have been developed for 75 percent use on asphalt and only 25 percent in the field. Characterized by a structure based on reinforced beads and steel belts, the “RideMax Fl 693 M” tires boast self-cleaning treads to minimize road contamination from fields and are also designed to ensure as linear and vibration-free rolling as possible. This allows them to actively contribute to reducing consumption and therefore overall operating costs for the company, a goal also pursued by the compounds designed with wear resistance in mind.
With Bkt reduced consumption and costs
The “D/E” speed rating class also ensures the possibility of traveling at speeds of up to 65 kilometers per hour, while the availability of over 33 sizes allows for equipping any trailer. It’s also worth noting the presence of “Vf” certified models in the range, which stands for “Very High Flexion,” capable of operating in the field at low pressure to minimize soil compaction without compromising load capacity compared to standard models.
