Tires For Every Aspect of a Logging Operation 

Last fall, our marketing team took a trip through Georgia and Alabama to connect with our customers about the challenges facing them and to see our Primex logging tires in action. Watching the efficiency of our host logging operations and observing the size and power of the equipment used in person is always amazing, and while we’re proud of the work our tires do in the forest, what we really hang our hard hat on is our ability to outfit operations—in this case, timber—with tires for every step of the way.

Maximizing Performance with Proper Tire Pressure  

Compare a logging operation of today with those of the not-so-distant past and one thing is obvious—the machines on site have grown considerably in both size and power. While the need to increase operational productivity and efficiency is driving the adoption of larger, more powerful equipment, it is also presenting new challenges. Luckily, there’s a simple step operators can take to overcome these challenges and make the most of their tires (and, subsequently, their machines): check tire air pressure frequently.

Primex for Profits 

Growing a stand of pine trees to economic maturity can take anywhere from 30 to 50 years, which makes timber growth for profit a long-term investment. One way that plantation managers are maximizing their investment in timber is by thinning their stands.

Alliance and Primex Forestry Tires and the Future of the Forest

On April 10, 1872, the seeds of Arbor Day were sown in Nebraska, a state more commonly associated with prairies than forests, when J. Sterling Morton proposed the idea of a day dedicated to planting trees. A million trees were planted in that state on the first Arbor Day, and the success of the event led to the celebration of Arbor Day in all 50 states. However, when we discuss the topic of planting trees, our thoughts drift to the role delicate woodland soils and our tires play in the growth of trees.

How Construction Workers, Loggers, and Farmers Helped Build America

On July 4th, the U.S. celebrates the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the building of the base for the country as we know it today. Of course, things are a lot different now than they were way back in 1776, and a lot has since been built on our forefathers’ foundation. While much has changed over the last 240+ years, some things have remained remarkably the same, like the contributions of construction workers, loggers, and farmers to the building of America.
