BKT has expanded its agricultural tyre portfolio with the latest evolution of the Agrimax V-Flecto range, a solution purpose-built to enhance performance in freshly tilled soil conditions. Designed with modern farming challenges in mind, the updated tyre focuses on improving traction, maintaining soil integrity, and supporting higher operational efficiency in the field.

Freshly tilled soil often presents a unique set of challenges for farmers and contractors. Its loose, soft, and unstable nature can reduce traction, increase slippage, and contribute to uneven field performance. Recognising these conditions, BKT has developed the new Agrimax V-Flecto to deliver reliable grip and consistent handling, even in demanding environments. The tyre is available in a wide variety of sizes, making it suitable for different tractor models and applications, particularly those involved in soil preparation tasks.

A standout feature of the Agrimax V-Flecto is its incorporation of advanced VF (Very High Flexion) technology. This innovation allows the tyre to carry up to 40% heavier loads compared to standard tyres operating at the same inflation pressure. This increased load capacity enables farmers to optimise productivity by handling heavier implements or reducing the number of field passes required, ultimately saving time and fuel.

The VF technology also plays a crucial role in protecting soil health. By operating at lower inflation pressures, the tyre creates a larger footprint on the ground. This wider contact patch distributes the tractor’s weight more evenly, significantly reducing soil compaction—an essential factor when working on freshly tilled land. Minimising compaction helps preserve soil structure, promotes better root development, and supports improved crop yields over time.

Another key advantage of the Agrimax V-Flecto is its effective self-cleaning design. Engineered to prevent the build-up of mud and debris between the lugs, the tyre maintains optimal traction throughout the working day, even in wet or sticky conditions. This ensures consistent performance and reduces the risk of slippage, which can negatively impact both efficiency and field quality.

In addition to traction and soil protection, the tyre’s robust construction enhances lateral stability. This contributes to improved control and precision during operations such as rotary tilling, where accuracy is critical. Greater stability also enhances operator comfort by reducing vibrations and ensuring smoother handling across uneven terrain.

According to Piero Torassa, the integration of VF technology delivers direct benefits in real-world applications. He notes that the ability to operate at lower pressures while maintaining high load capacity is particularly valuable in rotary tilling, where preserving the condition of freshly worked soil is essential.

Overall, the latest Agrimax V-Flecto tyre reflects BKT’s ongoing commitment to innovation in agricultural machinery. By combining advanced load-bearing capabilities, improved traction, and enhanced soil protection, the tyre offers a comprehensive solution for farmers seeking to maximise productivity while safeguarding the long-term health of their land.
