Bkt Agrimax V-Flecto tires: low pressures, wide contacts

The Bkt Agrimax V-Flecto” tires are designed as optimal solutions for soil finishing operations prior to sowing.

Their “Vf” certification allows them to operate at very low inflation pressures and therefore with equally low levels of soil compaction

Aside from no-till farming, before crops are planted it is common practice to prepare the soil through shallow or medium-depth tillage operations aimed at breaking up clods, mixing the soil, and creating uniform, soft, and well-drained seedbeds ideal for receiving seeds or transplanting vegetables.

Various implements can be used for this purpose, primarily harrows and rotary tillers of different types, but all share the same requirement: they must operate within working systems that avoid excessive soil compaction, an effect that would partly undermine the benefits of the tillage operations themselves.

This creates the need to equip tractors with tires capable of combining the required traction performance with a high degree of flotation. Today, these two objectives can be achieved simultaneously thanks to the availability of “Vf” certified tires — “Very High Flexion” — whose main feature lies in the presence of highly flexible sidewalls capable of creating the widest possible footprint area between tire and ground.

This is achieved without negatively affecting load capacity, two normally conflicting requirements that Bkt has successfully combined through the development of the “AgriMax V-Flecto” range, specifically designed for medium- and high-power tractors intended for continuous field operations.

These latest-generation “Vf” certified tires guarantee maximum traction, soil protection, and excellent operating efficiency, particularly when tractors are working on soft and unstable ground conditions that could otherwise cause slipping and loss of traction.

“Agrimax V-Flecto” tires are specifically designed to counteract these potential drawbacks. They also feature self-cleaning tread patterns that keep the lugs operating at peak efficiency even on clay-rich and highly adhesive soils.

Thanks to these operational advantages, it is possible to work with slip rates reduced to a minimum, resulting in lower fuel consumption and greater hourly productivity.
