BKT has created a new tyre that complements its product range for open field spraying, row crops, orchards, and vineyards and have called it the Agrimax Spargo SB.
This new steel-belted product is distinguished by an increased tread depth and more slender lugs, giving an overall more open and taller tread pattern.
The configuration is said to provide excellent handling on the road and a D-class speed rating enabling speeds of up to 65 km/h.
This is of particular advantage to farmers who need to move quickly between fields and supply points, optimizing time and increasing operational efficiency.
Soil ejection from tyre tread
Another distinctive feature is the dual-layer mud ejection system, designed to effectively remove debris from the tread and ensure a quick transition from field to road without accumulating dirt.
Safety and comfort remain top priorities, the tyre provides a smooth and stable ride, reducing operator fatigue and ensuring a predictable response in all conditions.
The company notes that it has paid special attention to the casing design by using a strong polyester structure that offers greater strength, flexibility, and durability than traditional materials.
This choice is said to enable the tyre to handle heavy loads while keeping deformation under control, improving the footprint and thus traction, stability, and handling.
Stability at speed
The use of steel belts in the structure is a further enhancement of the Agrimax Spargo SB’s performance, providing a more stable and precise ride, especially at the high speeds allowed by the ‘D’ rating.
The steel belts also offer increased puncture resistance, protecting the tyre from debris and sharp objects found on the road and in the field, thus reducing the risk of downtime and maintenance costs.
In addition, the combination with a polyester casing means a better internal stress distribution limiting uneven wear while extending the tread life.
Reduced fuel consumption
The reinforced structure helps the tyre maintain its optimal shape under load, improving the rolling efficiency and helping to reduce fuel consumption, a great advantage for intensive farming operations.
This is not just a support structure, but is claimed to be at the technological heart of the tyre, determining performance under all operating conditions.
This new tyre also features a specially designed sidewall structure to reduce vibration, which improves comfort during precision spraying operations.
