Video of the result of agronomic tests carried out with low-pressure VT-TRACTOR tyres
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.
