BKT launched a range of tractor tyres designed for grassland work at the Ploughing on Tuesday.

Featuring rounded shoulders, the RT-600 tractor tyre delivers less ground compaction. With more lugs, a finer shape of lug and not as deep a tread in comparison to the standard 65 series tyre, the RT-600 is kinder to the ground. It is an ideal tyre for users operating 80% field work and 20% road work.

Also new to the market is the V-Flecto tyre range for high-powered tractors. These extremely strong tyres offer reduced soil compaction and higher load capacity.

Agrigear have taken a much larger stand this year. The 700m2 area has a broad range of tyre options on display.

Fred Clarke of Agrigear said: “Over the years we have found that visitors to our stand like to see the tyres in the flesh, to see the tyre pattern and the grips. The BKT product range has grown a lot over the last five years across both agricultural and industrial sectors and our job is to showcase as many of these tyres as we can to the end users.”

Agrigear’s three-piece rowcrop wheel launched earlier this year is also on show. The wheel design gives users various track width options.
