Michelin, Ireland last remaining tyre manufacturer, has expanded their range of farm tyres with the unveiling of their CargoXBib high flotation unit for use on trailers and other items of farm machinery.
Using their new Ultraflex technology, it is designed to deliver more grip and less soil compaction whilst operating at lower than standard pressures – as low as 0.8 bar in the field and as high as 4 bar on the road.
Its introduction is a response to changes that see farmers spend almost as much time travelling on roads and concrete farmyards as on soft ground.
One key feature is its rounded shoulders that minimise ground cover damage whilst offering greater resistance to wear and cargo shifting during road use. Multi-angle, non-directional tread blocks wear more evenly and give good grip on sloped ground.
It joins a growing line-up of Michelin farm tyres that includes their AxioBib and XeoBib tractor tyres, CerexBib harvester tyres and SprayBib fitments for sprayers.
