From an economic perspective, specialized agriculture represents one of the most rewarding sectors when focused on high-quality production. This quality is achieved through a constant effort to promote the vegetative growth of various products, which originates from protecting the soil and respecting its characteristics. In this context, the choice of tires for machines and equipment, which directly interact with the ground by transmitting traction and pressure to it, is crucial. If traction is not well managed by the tire treads, it can lead to unwanted soil damage, especially at the end of the field when the tractor maneuvers from a standstill and the tires tend to dig in. Conversely, if ground pressures are too high, they cause subtle and hidden damage by limiting the aeration of the lower soil layers and restricting the penetration and distribution of nutrients.
The Specialized Trelleborg Range
While it is impossible to completely prevent these effects, their impact can be mitigated by using modern tires such as the Trelleborg radial series “Tm 800” and “Tm 700,” or specific and innovative solutions like the “PneuTrac,” also by Trelleborg. The former features tires with a high level of self-cleaning tread, requiring just two rotations to expel mud lodged between the lugs, thereby achieving high traction—up to twenty percent more than the category standards—with minimal slippage.
The same characteristic is also found in “PneuTrac” tires, which offer a working surface up to 53 percent larger than the best standard tires. This advantage allows “PneuTrac” to deliver both low soil compaction and superior traction capacity—up to 48 percent more than standard tires, making them competitive with tracks. Both tire families share the “Progressive Traction” lug geometry, a Trelleborg-patented design that reinforces the base of each lug, ensuring greater rigidity both during traction and when the machine operates on crosswise slopes. In this condition, “PneuTrac” outperforms “Tm 800” and “Tm 700,” providing superior stability that enhances safety. However, the “Tm” series is better suited for road transport.
