FAIRLAWN, Ohio (March 13, 2013) — Trelleborg Wheel Systems S.p.A. has extended its collaboration with tractor maker New Holland.
Trelleborg made the announcement at SIMA 2013, the Paris International Agri- Business Show, which took take place in Paris Feb. 24-28. There, the New Holland T9 4WD tractor premiered with Trelleborg's IF 750/75R46 TM1000 High Power giant 2.3-meter wheel/tire system.
Trelleborg said the TM1000 High Power is designed according to its Blue Tire technology to meet the requirements of the latest generation of ultra-high-powered tractors and is capable of boosting tractor efficiency while preventing slippage between tire and rim.
"Our strategic partnership with New Holland has been developed to help farming professionals achieve the perfect combination between complete wheel solutions and cutting edge tractor technology," said Paolo Pompei, business unit president agricultural and forestry tires for Trelleborg.
"Together, we are committed to helping farming professionals upgrade their traditional operations to ensure a sustainable future for farming."
Trelleborg said the New Holland T9 features its advanced SCR ECOBlue technology, which provides high power and productivity while lowering environmental impact. The extra-wide footprint area of the TM1000 High Power tire aids improved traction and fuel efficiency, optimizing working time and a reduction in emissions. Trelleborg added that the tire's "unrivalled flotation capability reduces significantly the compaction of the soil and the stress on the crops, driving higher farming yields."
