Seregno (Italy), June 24, 2015 – Not even the newest amateur gardener on the block would think of planting lettuce in a walkway, or worse, in an area where heavy wheelbarrows are transported. Packed and compacted earth due to wheeled vehicles running over loses most of its fertility. Yet, this is exactly the kind of dilemma today's farmers, who use tractors and bulky implements often loaded with fertilizers and seeds, are faced with.
As a response to the needs of modern agriculture for reduced soil compaction, BKT has specially developed the new RIB 713 with IF technology. Increased Flexion Technology allows for heavier load carrying capacity at the same inflation pressures as compared to a standard tire of the same size.
This feature along with a larger footprint area provides uniform weight distribution and excellent flotation properties – all essential features for best farming performance.
The new RIB 713 tire has steel belting for increased stubble and penetration resistance. This common risk especially during harvest season is a matter of increasing awareness and concern among American farmers who grow large-scale GMO products. These plants are indeed incredibly husky leaving strong stubbles on the land that can ruin tires.
In addition, “D” speed rating ensures that the RIB 713 tire runs up to 40 mph (65 km/h) on the road – best requisites for quick travel from one piece of farmland to another. Currently available in size IF 280/70 R 15, this tire offers increased load capacity operating at standard inflation pressure.
In a nutshell, BKT's continued commitment to innovation and extensive experience in the field has once again led to the launch of a unique tire, which has been designed to provide optimum performance, protect the soil and deliver a long and trouble-free service life.
