AGRICULTURAL AG TRACTOR TYRES - FAQ'S
What are the different types of tractor tyres, and how do I choose the right one?
Tractor tyres are categorized into several types, each designed for specific applications:
R1 (Agricultural Tyres): Ideal for general farming on soft or muddy terrain, high traction with subcategories like IF/VF for better fuel efficiency & foliage protection.
R1W: Similar to R1 but with deeper treads, suitable for wet or muddy conditions.
R2: Designed for very wet or flooded fields, featuring extra-deep treads, like rice or cane plantations.
R3 (Turf Tyres): Best for lawns and turf, with shallow treads to minimize ground disturbance, preserving surfaces but not suitable for mud.
R4 (Industrial Tyres): Works well on hard surfaces like gravel or concrete. Used in construction and industrial applications, offering a balance between traction and durability on hard surfaces.
HF (High Flotation) tyres reduce soil compaction while maintaining grip, ideal for fields and forests.
Lastly, F Series tyres are classic options for vintage two-wheel-drive tractors.
Choosing the right tyre depends on your tractor’s primary use, soil conditions, and the tasks you perform.
How do I read and understand tractor tyre sizes?
Tractor tyre sizes are typically indicated in formats like “16.9-30” or “420/85R34”:
16.9-30: “16.9” represents the tyre width in inches; “30” denotes the rim diameter in inches.
420/85R34: “420” is the tyre width in millimeters; “85” is the aspect ratio (height as a percentage of width); “R” indicates radial construction; “34” is the rim diameter in inches.
Understanding these measurements ensures compatibility with your tractor’s rims and optimal performance.
What is the difference between radial and bias-ply tractor tyres?
Radial Tyres: Constructed with radial textile plies running perpendicular to the tread, offering better traction, fuel efficiency, and longer tread life. Radial tyres can also be steel belted or made with complete steel carcass based on the application of the tyre.
Bias-Ply Tyres: Built with layers of textile plies criss-crossing at angles, providing a stiffer sidewall, which can be beneficial in certain applications but may result in a rougher ride and faster wear.
The choice between radial and bias-ply depends on your specific needs, including load requirements, terrain, and budget.
How does tyre pressure affect tractor performance?
Proper tyre inflation is crucial for:
Traction: Correct pressure ensures maximum contact with the ground, enhancing grip.
Fuel Efficiency: Properly inflated tyres reduce rolling resistance, leading to better fuel economy.
Tyre Longevity: Maintaining recommended pressure prevents uneven wear and extends tyre life.
Regularly check and adjust tyre pressure according to the manufacturer’s guidelines and the specific tasks being performed.
Why are tractor rear tyres larger than front tyres?
Larger rear tyres provide
Enhanced Traction: The increased surface area improves grip on various terrains.
Weight Distribution: They help balance the tractor, especially when carrying heavy implements.
