Reducing Rutting and Cutting Compaction with Tires 

We love learning how our dealers help customers use our application-specific AG tires to solve problems on the farm. Some of the unique solutions our dealers come up with are so great that we feel compelled to share them. Our latest tale comes from Graham Tire in Minnesota, where a tire with a higher load index was used to help a customer reduce the soil compaction and rutting their sprayer was causing.

In the difficult ag economy, any advantage you can acquire—no matter how small—can be the difference between making a profit and taking a loss. Even modest improvements to a large operation such as a farm can add up, resulting in an impactful change (and more dollars) at the end of the season. Helping farmers combat decreasing farm profits are tires like the Alliance 363 IF/VF.

Applications-Specific Tires Provide Farm Solutions 

Our focus is on making application-specific tires that solve the real-world issues facing our customers. We also want our innovative products to be within reach of the average farmer, construction business owner, and fleet manager, which is why we strive to deliver a technologically advanced tire with a low total cost of ownership. Because of this, we get especially excited when our distributors find a solution to a customer’s problem using one of our tires.

The Importance of Having the Right Tires

Today’s farm budgets have tightened and made the line between success and failure razor thin. With rising costs and weaker commodity prices, maximizing your resources and dialing in your efficiencies are key to survival. One of the simplest and possibly least expensive ways to increase an operation’s efficiency is to make smarter, more informed choices when selecting tires.

Customers Love Our Alliance 376 Farm Tire

One of the great joys of the summer for our team is pulling season. And while we love the excitement of the pulls, the main reason we attend so many National Tractor Pullers Association (NTPA) events is the opportunity to meet with the people using our tires day in and day out. We believe that learning from these interactions is one of the reasons why we've been so successful in addressing the needs of today’s farmer. Sometimes, though, someone like Cole Feldt from Grafton, Iowa just wants to visit our booth and tell us how much they love our product…and as much as we love feedback, we also really enjoy praise.
