In addition to traditional field operations, larger agricultural businesses and contractors are often involved in maintenance and logistics operations on hard surfaces, primarily concrete and asphalt, but also on dirt roads.
To address these work situations with maximum efficiency without sacrificing the traction and flotation necessary for successful field operations, Bridgestone has developed a specific tire called the “Vh-Ind,” Bridgestone’s first agro-industrial tire.
Featuring a knobby tread nearly 35.5 millimeters deep, the “Vh-Ind,” according to the Japanese manufacturer, boasts 12 percent more traction and four percent less slippage than its main competitor, the Michelin “Bibload.”
”. Compared to the latter and thanks to a structure featuring an additional ply, the load index is up to 500 kg higher and stability in difficult conditions is eight percent higher, a feature induced by the optimal balance between the reinforced “Vh-Ind” carcass and vertical rigidity. The new tire is already available in the 460/70 R24 size, the most popular in the segment.
