The tests carried out over a full year show the benefits of low pressure in improving the efficiency of work in the fields.

Advantages in terms of Fuel Consumption:

• The VF tyre design optimises transmission of power to the ground, minimising the loss of energy.
• A better soil footprint reduces rolling resistance, especially on wet ground.
• Efficient use of VF tyres at low pressure leads to significant fuel savings.

Advantages for Traction:

• The better soil footprint for low-pressure VF tyres reduces slip, making the work rate better.
• The specific design of the lugs facilitates traction and avoids earth accumulating between the lugs.

Advantages for the Soil:

• VF tyres used at low pressure preserve the structure of the soil, while minimising compaction.
• They encourage the growth of the crops’ root system and biological activity in the soil.
• They allow good water infiltration to the different layers of soil, optimising yields without watering during the dry season.
