Prepare Your Combines Tire for Harvest

With so many things in farming that you can’t control—for example, weather, input costs, and commodity prices—it’s important to take charge of what you can. This is particularly true during make-or-break periods such as harvest. With today’s combines capable of carrying upwards of 25,000 pounds of weight, you’re asking a lot of their tires. Consequently, you’ll want to take steps to ensure they’re in top working condition before the big event to maximize productivity and avoid unplanned downtime.

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.

Why Warranties Matter When Choosing Farm Tires

There’s a lot to consider when buying new farm tires. For example, do you need the tires to help you achieve a goal like lowering soil compaction, improving roadability, or increasing traction? Or, will the tires operate in specific conditions, such as on hillsides or in muddy soil? Another characteristic to contemplate is the quality of a company’s warranty. A tire manufacturer’s warranty is an indicator of the confidence they have in their ag tires and provides purchasers with protection if a tire fails to meet a producer’s promised performance.
