In an orchard, the frequent passage of machines between the rows, always at the same place, will inevitably lead to soil compaction which can have major consequences on water drainage and on the surface part of the trees’ root system. A good structure of the arable layer facilitates water...

Your soil is crucial ; it can be highly productive and serve up good yields for many years, but there are some fundamental conditions which must be respected for this to remain constant. Among these conditions, avoiding soil compaction is certainly one of the most important and most difficult to...
Mixed crop-livestock farming leads to special requirements for your tyre equipment. Frequent manoeuvres in the farm courtyard, often on hard surfaces, combined with regular activities in the fields, require multipurpose tyres capable of bearing heavy loads during handling operations, but without...
Choosing the best agricultural tyres for your tractors is a necessity, especially when you work on difficult terrain like silex or stoney land. There are unique challenges attached to working on these types of soil, which rapidly accelerate tyre wear and potentially impact the productivity of your...
Asphalt, which is much more abrasive than earth, acts like sandpaper on your tyres, significantly reducing their wear life. Unfortunately, frequent use of the tractor on the road has become a necessity for many farmers due to the increasing distance between fields. Tractor tyres are not originally...
You have invested in a powerful tractor, convinced that engine power will be enough to guarantee your productivity and your rapidity. Yet you regularly note that your tractor has trouble transmitting this energy smoothly to the ground. Why is there such a loss of efficiency despite the...
The use of a front loader on your tractor is not without consequences for your tyres. Between handling operations, transporting heavy loads and manoeuvres on hard ground, an intense effort is required from the front tyres of your tractor, which can lead to premature wear or even irreversible...
Your choice of tyre is not just a question of size or price. It’s a strategic decision on how to optimise yields, protect your crops or reduce your working time. Wide tyres, which are perfect for ploughing, reach their limit when it comes to passing between fragile rows of young seedlings. On the...
Your tractor tyre model determines your load capacity. Agricultural tyres are solid, but not sufficiently so to cope with any level of load and you must take this into account when it comes to choosing your ballast. Adding too much weight to your combination vehicle can effectively be...
