Ag Excellence, the Alliance AgriFlex+ 372

One strategy farmers are using to boost the productivity and efficiency of their operations (and improve their profitability) is to equip their tractors with high-tech tires such as the Alliance AgriFlex+ 372. Today’s farmers ask a lot of their tractors—one day a tractor is in the field pulling a heavy implement and another traveling at high speeds on the road to get to a field—and something as simple as selecting a versatile tire can produce a big return on investment.

Traction and Compaction in Wet Fields 

Thoughts of perfect weather and ideal field conditions fill every farmer’s head, but those dreams aren’t always a reality. While we preach patience and believe in biding your time until a field is ready to support equipment, sometimes waiting isn’t an option. In cases when you simply must enter wet and muddy fields, here are some steps you can take to increase flotation, maximize traction, and reduce soil compaction.

Upgrading Farm Tires for Improved Soil Health 

It’s no secret that fields with healthy, uncompacted soil are more productive. It’s also apparent that wheel traffic is the major cause of soil compaction in most fields. According to a recent paper—“Projections of yield losses and economic costs following deep wheel‐traffic compaction during the 2019 harvest”—authored by educators from the Minnesota and North Dakota extension services, deep-soil compaction (below the depth of normal tillage) can cut corn and soybean yields by an average of 21% for the following two harvests.

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.

Working in the Field 

It’s hard to believe that we released our innovative Alliance Agri Star II tire just six months ago. Blending the fantastic performance and the low total cost of ownership we've developed a reputation for, it’s no wonder that we’re already seeing so many of these tires on the farm and in the field. Accompanying many of those tires is our sales team, helping dealers and customers alike to set up their equipment and maximize their return on Alliance tires.
