Big Flotation Tires Help at Harvest

In years like this, marked with unpredictable and unfavorable weather, making sure you’re in control of the factors you can manage is critical. With much of the heartland battling weather that just refuses to cooperate, being too wet for planting or too dry after planting, many farmers have been forced to replant (with some even having to replant a second time)—highlighting the importance of making sure your operation is running as smoothly as possible to help salvage the season.

Our Flotation Tires in the Nation's First National Park

Last winter, we featured a story about The Buffalo Bus Touring Company of West Yellowstone, Montana, putting our flotation tires to the test on their winter tours of the United States’ first national park. Since that time, the tour company has come under new ownership, and we are excited to hear that the new operator had great things to say about how our tires were working for him.

As of Jan 1, 2021, Alliance Tire Group and Alliance Tire Americas, Inc. changed their names to Yokohama Off-Highway Tires and Yokohama Off-Highway Tires America, Inc respectively. The Alliance, Galaxy and Primex brands and product names remain unchanged. Product information is available at www.yokohama-oht.com.

A new option from Kubota Tractor Company—outfitting its company’s 100-hp M5L-111 tractor with Alliance A-328 multi-purpose flotation tires as optional equipment—is opening up new market opportunities in orchard applications.

One of the hardest decisions facing today’s farmers is deciding when to do what is right for the farm of today, and when to do what is right for the farm of the future. With a wet fall this year, many farmers have had to make hard decisions about getting into the fields and harvesting this year’s crop, while taking into consideration the impact bringing their machines into wet fields will have on next season's harvest.

#ArborDay

Whether you're a tree-hugger, hiker, forester, logger, or just a regular person, trees play an important role in the lives of everyone. Whether they are offering shade from the sun, filling our lungs with clean air to breathe, providing building materials for our homes, or delivering us delicious and healthy fruit to eat, trees are subtly involved in people's daily lives. Occurring annually on the final Friday of April, Arbor Day presents an opportunity to recognize the vital role that trees play in our daily lives while also giving an opportunity to foster the impact they have by planting a new tree. Here's a look at some of the most dramatic, inspiring, and just plain fun posts we found on Twitter of people celebrating #ArborDay.
