Mitas latest VF tires hit the ground at Germany’s Agritechnica 2023 fair
Developed for today’s agricultural machinery, the VF technology incorporated into each Mitas tire live at the booth offers an extra performance boost according to the specific application.
Pavel Kott, Product Manager for Mitas agricultural tires, adds: “Our latest AGRITERRA 02 SP tire, designed with more flexible and very strong VF sidewall construction, allows for safe operation at lower inflation pressures. Its up to 25% larger footprint, provides for greater soil protection and thereby greater yields, reducing soil pressure by up to 20%. In fact, the entire AGRITERRA tire range enhances soil conditions thanks to significantly reduced soil compaction”.
Mitas will also have on display at Agritechnica other reliable tires with VF technology to help farmers in their day-to-day operations starting with the HC 3000 R, HC 1000 NRO, and HC 2000 tire.
Developed in response to market demand for high load capacity for slurry tankers, the HC 3000 R tire is equipped with a soil-friendly tread pattern and flexible sidewalls reinforced with VF construction.
The HC 1000 NRO tire is made to match the latest self-propelled agricultural sprayers today. This radial flotation tire gives farmers up to 40% higher load capacity, increased flotation and ground protection due to both the NRO’s special construction and advanced VF feature. The optimized tread pattern and increased number of lugs ensure reduced soil compaction, lower fuel consumption, better durability, and longer service life.
Also on display will be the Mitas HC 2000 tire for high-power tractors. The specific tread pattern design and VF technology deliver excellent traction efficiency while maintaining good ground protection, even at high load capacity.
Elmar Burkhardt, Marketing Senior Manager for Central Europe concludes: “In addition to the agricultural tires we’ll be showing at Agritechnica, we are very proud to show the “Green Monster V Mitas Edition” tractor fitted with our PowerPull 01 tires. These tires are exclusively designed for tractor pulling races, and made to transfer the enormous power behind competition-level machines so drivers can get the maximum pull they need. The tires are made without tread patterns, so teams can carve their own tread design. Mitas has been a strong and loyal sponsor of this competition over the years, and we’re excited to have the “Green Monster V” and its driver Tobias Hörstkamp at our Booth #B04 - Hall 20, ready to meet fans and take pictures with them inside the tractor cabin.”
