Michelin has introduced a new version of its MachXBib agricultural tyres. The new version features a revised tread pattern which the firm say has been designed to improve endurance, traction and resistance to stubble damage.
The new design will initially be launched in three sizes traditionally used on the front axle – 600/65 R28 154D/150E, 600/70 R28 157D/154E and 600/70 R30 158D. The tyre is suited for tractors in the 160-300hp region.
Michelin says the new tyre delivers a greater load capacity on the front axle. This is down to its ability to be inflated to higher pressures. At 2.4 bar, the new 600/70 R30 158D MachXBib offers a front axle load capacity of up to 9,780kg in field conditions and at speeds of up to 30km/h. The previous generation MachXBib tyres in this size offered a maximum inflation pressure of 1.6 bar for 30km/h operation, giving a front axle load of just 8,400kg in field conditions.

The firm outlined that key changes include a redesigned tread pattern which offers a flatter contact patch, helping to achieve more regular tread wear. It also features overlapping lugs helping to optimise road handling, and a deep tread pattern to deliver maximum traction. The lugs feature a more rounded shape, offering greater resistance to stubble damage.
