IF/VF Tires for Spring Planting

So far this spring, wet fields have delayed planting in many parts of the U.S. and Canada. As farmers fall behind historical planting norms, the anxiety to get into the fields regardless of conditions continues to grow. While we understand the eagerness to get the seed into the ground, we also know this is the time of year to practice patience, as one of the most common mistakes made by farmers is entering their fields too early.

On a trip through the Midwest this past summer, we were fortunate to meet with a few of the people working with our Alliance 363 IF tire in the field and record their thoughts on what makes the Alliance 363 an excellent tire. The people we spoke with ranged from a Sales Manager and Field Engineer to a pair of corn and soybean farmers from Iowa to a custom applicator from Minnesota—and the praise this group gave the Alliance 363 IF is nearly as diverse as the group itself.

Praise for the Alliance AgriFlex 363 Tire

With 42 years of experience working for Central Farm Service (CFS) in Kenyon, Minnesota, it’s safe to say that custom applicator Steve Aldrich has driven a lot of different machines and ridden on a lot of different tires over the years. Because of this, we were very excited when we learned he was willing to share the great experience he’s had with our Alliance AgriFlex 363 IF tires on video.

Engineering an IF/VF Tire

A lot goes into making an IF/VF tire and even more goes into making one that performs up to our exacting standards. Check out this great video, where Field Engineer Pat Gaston talks about the ins and outs of IF/VF tires, and what separates our tires from what our competitors have to offer.

Getting to Know the Alliance AgriFlex 363 

Today’s farmer has to wear many hats to run a successful operation. Whether it’s planting, spraying, harvesting, or even sales and accounting, selecting the right hat for the right occasion is key to the modern farmer. In that vein, the success of a farmer is often reliant on choosing the right tool for the right job, and for row crop farmers whose machines spend time on the road as well as in the field, the Alliance Agriflex 363 IF is just the tool.
