The Value of VF Tires and Optimal Inflation Pressure

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.

How to Prevent Ruts in the Field

Nine Tips to Minimize Field Ruts

Field ruts create a plethora of issues for farmers—they increase wear and tear on equipment, reduce operator comfort, and can indicate soil compaction. Furthermore, water can create channels and result in the erosion of valuable soil. Need another compelling reason to control ruts? A Minnesota State University Extension educator found that ruts led to a 17% decrease in yield in observation fields.

The best way to deal with ruts is to mitigate the issues that cause them in the first place.

Dinosaurs, Farm Equipment, and Soil Compaction

Farm Equipment and Dinosaurs Exert a Heavy Toll On Soil 

Over the past century, mechanization has dramatically improved crop production and efficiency; however, the size and weight of farm equipment have also grown alongside yield and productivity. A new study found that the weight of modern farm machinery rivals that of sauropods, the largest animals ever to have ever lived on land.

Tires vs. Tracks: Which is More Fuel Efficient

What is More Fuel-Efficient, Tires or Tracks?

Tractors are the engine of a farm, pulling everything from planting implements like seeders in the spring to hauling carts during harvest in the fall. Because tractors are the primary power source on the farm, the expense of keeping them fueled is significant—most years, fuel accounts for about 5% of a farmer’s overall costs. Given the considerable expense of fuel, even small differences can result in large returns—which begs the question, what is more fuel-efficient: tires or tracks?
