Alliance Introduces the 778 Irrigation Tire 

The unique Y-shaped center block of the Alliance 778 irrigation tire (launched this week by Yokohama Off-Highway Tires America, Inc.) marks a revolution in irrigation tire tread design. The overlapping Y shapes in the centerline of the zero-degree lug pattern improve both traction and durability compared to traditional lug patterns.

Spotlighting the Power of Proper Inflation Pressure and VF Tires

Innovative tire technologies like very high flexion (VF) help farmers do everything from reducing soil compaction to boosting yields. To maximize the advantage offered by VF tires, it’s important to operate them at the lowest safe air pressure for the field based on load and speed. Recently, Yokohama Off-Highway Tires America supported a demonstration by NTS Tire Supply and AgRevival to highlight the powerful opportunity that the right tires, set at the right pressure, present to farmers.

VF Tire Solutions for Farm Equipment

Alliance’s Whole Farm Concept is a commitment to delivering a low-pressure tire solution for every piece of farm equipment that enters the field—from sprayers to combines and everything in between. The Whole Farm Concept helps farmers harvest the full potential of low-pressure tires by ensuring the benefits of machines equipped with them aren’t minimized by another piece of equipment operating with standard tires.

Alliance’s Whole Farm Concept is about delivering a variety of solutions—such as IF/VF and flotation tires—to help farmers fight soil compaction.  

Five Strategies for Safer Roading of Farm Equipment

In many areas, ag equipment like tractors, combines, and grain carts will soon take to the road for harvest. Farm equipment is large and slow-moving, especially compared to other vehicle traffic, and poses some unique challenges when operating on the road. Luckily, there are steps farmers can take to reduce the risk of accidents, protect their equipment, and ensure the safety of operators.

Below are some best practices for safely roading ag equipment—whether you’re driving a harvester in fall or pulling a planter in spring.
