DANVERS, Mass. — Maxam Tire North America Inc. has added VF sizes to the AgilXtra I-3 implement product series.
Maxam said its AgilXtra VF technology solutions deliver the capability to carry heavier loads at high speeds while ensuring both increased tire traction and minimizing soil compaction.
Maxam said it continues to focus its efforts on developing VF technology solutions that can meet the challenge of mixed terrains, loads, applications and high speeds without compromising performance or endurance.
With the ever-increasing demand for more yield and greater food production, the farming market is demanding larger equipment in both size and load capable of operating at higher speeds.
Maxam's AgilXtra products are radial tires designed with a steel-belted construction utilizing a directional tread design for longer treadwear, improved stability and high resistance to punctures or field hazards.
The optimized tread pattern improves field traction, roading and self-cleaning while minimizing vibrations at high transport speeds.
The VF Technology sizes will allow implements or tankers to either carry 40% more tire load at normal air pressures or operate at 40% less air pressure for the same tire load while significantly reducing ground pressure.
The technological advantage enables the tires to work in either heavier load or higher-speed applications and/or reduce the impact on soil conditions for increased productivity or crop yields.
"With the AgilXtra Series now available in VF technology, once again Maxam meets its pledge to design the most capable solutions for the agricultural industry. The addition of VF technology to our AgriXtra family of products and now to our new AgilXtra I-3 implement products is another symbol of Maxam's commitment to delivering business solutions to the global agricultural market and for the future of the industry," Greg Gilland, vice president of global agriculture at Maxam Tire, said.
