Medium-high power agricultural tractors are known to work on the road for at least half of their life pulling heavy trailers. It is no coincidence that the majority of agricultural tire manufacturers are progressively adding tires characterized by treads that are less aggressive towards the ground and therefore capable of exhibiting lower energy absorption on the road, alongside the classic crampon tyres, a trend that the manufacturers themselves had previously already approached at the level of floating tyres, those used to equip trailers, and which was also recently done by…

According to the latest industry statistics, a high-power agricultural tractor divides its operating hours 50 percent between field and road. This percentage also applies to agricultural trailers, but often heavily biased towards either road or field at different times. Trailers serving combine harvesters, for example, may cover only a few hundred meters in the field empty to reach the harvester but then travel several kilometers fully loaded to deliver the harvest to the farm. In other cases, the opposite occurs, such as when trailers are self-loading. Consequently, it’s difficult for…

Turin, 1924. From the dynamism of entrepreneur Virginio Bruni Tedeschi emerged the company “Cavi elettrici e affini Torino,” acronymized as “Ceat.” Initially dedicated to the production of industrial wiring, it expanded its horizons in the late 1930s by venturing into the production of civilian and military gas masks. By 1946, it transitioned to manufacturing tires for agriculture and light transport. The success of these ventures enabled Ceat to expand, establishing five facilities in Italy and one in India, established in 1958 in collaboration with the Tata Group. By the early…

It is well known that tire efficiency directly affects performance and fuel consumption in any application, thus influencing overall productivity. For this reason, machine manufacturers, especially tractor manufacturers, always conduct extensive homologation tests before offering their customers a specific set of tires, ensuring that the tires in question best match the characteristics of the machines they will be mounted on. However, it is true that in agricultural settings, certainties are rare commodities, and there is no agricultural or livestock farm that does not have to deal with specific operational situations.…
