"In our farm economy today it's very important to have
equipment run efficiently. Our equipment needs to hold up
to the tough conditions we face while performing the way it
should. Michelin Ag has given us several products that do
just that. Michelin tires deliver better flotation, improved
traction and a smoother ride. Michelin tires provide a great
advantage and they will be able to work properly even in the
wettest conditions.
We've had a lot of problems in the past with our tires wearing
too quickly and separating. This especially was the case with
our combine. The weight of the extensions would wear on the
tires. So we put a set of Michelin XM108 tires on it and found
they hold up really well. They also provide a better ride
and stability that we weren't getting from our old tires.
The low inflation also gives us better flotation and less
compaction. We seem to be getting about 30% more tire on the
ground. That's treating the soil right and we need that, especially
in wet harvest conditions.
We need to have traction and good flotation from the tires
we put on them. With the Agribib on our tractors, we are getting
that efficiently. The low inflation technology of the tire
spreads the tread out over the ground. This translates into
less compaction and better traction. The horsepower the tractor
has is transferred to the ground with the Michelin tires.
We are not spinning our tires and wasting fuel. With Michelin
tires on these tractors, they can work in any condition. Wet
ground isn't a problem anymore and that means our work is
not typically held up by bad weather.
The wear we are getting out of these Michelin tires has also
been impressive. We've been running Agribib Row Crop tires
on our Ag-Chem sprayer for two seasons and we're noticing
virtually no wear with extra road travel. The tires that came
on it suffered from irregular wear and the tread was coming
apart. That is when we knew we would have to change tires.
These Michelin tires hold up really well and the deep lugs
have the ability to tip-toe through the crop without making
a path. For such a skinny tire, that's a great feature.
From tractor, to combine, to sprayer I have been impressed
by the Michelin performances, their smooth ride and their
durability. I will definitively recommend these tires to any
farmer."
