Upgrading Farm Tires for Improved Soil Health 

It’s no secret that fields with healthy, uncompacted soil are more productive. It’s also apparent that wheel traffic is the major cause of soil compaction in most fields. According to a recent paper—“Projections of yield losses and economic costs following deep wheel‐traffic compaction during the 2019 harvest”—authored by educators from the Minnesota and North Dakota extension services, deep-soil compaction (below the depth of normal tillage) can cut corn and soybean yields by an average of 21% for the following two harvests.

How Tractor Tires Hookup 

An ag tire’s ability to deliver traction has a large influence on its performance—whether it’s helping pull a field cultivator through tight soils or putting a big tractor’s 500-hp to the ground, a tire’s ability to deliver traction is of the utmost importance to farmers. Because of this, manufacturers spend millions of dollars to engineer tires that can generate forces in the field and on the road without slipping. No single part of a tire is responsible for delivering traction; rather, it’s a combination of parts working together to deliver maximum performance.

Alliance Introduces a New VF Implement Tire—the Agriflex+ 881

The Alliance Agriflex+ 881—a new, all-steel VF (very high-flexion) radial tire for today's heaviest towed agricultural implements, rated for road speeds up to 40 mph—broadens the line of high-performance VF tires from Alliance Tire America. The Agriflex+ product line uses extremely flexible sidewall technology to improve the load-carrying capacity and reduce soil compaction. The VF tires designated as Alliance Agriflex+ radials can carry as much of a load as a conventional radial tire at 40 percent less inflation pressure, reducing soil compaction force by about 40 percent.
