Stephen Fox  Corning, AR - 10,000 acres - rice and soybeans
Stephen has used Michelin® Ag radial tires since 2000: XM28™ and Agribib® tires on his combine, Agribib®on his tractors.
"Thanks to the Michelin® Ag tires I have significantly increased the mobility of my combines in severe conditions."

"My main challenge when harvesting is the weather and field conditions.

When I operate my combines, working at heavy loads, I expect a tire offering dependability, to have light footprint and save grain. Michelin® Ag tires are exactly what I look for.

I have been using the Michelin tires on the combine for 2 years and I am fully satisfied. Before, with competitor tires, I had too many flats and the tires tore up the ground too much.

Since I have switched to Michelin, I have less field damage. I estimate I reduced my soil damage by 50%, which means better yield. I have also less down time. Our service calls for tire repairs have substantially decreased. I get more stability on the combine.

I have 2 STS 9750 combines, one with 20.8R42 Rice and Cane tires and one with Michelin large volume 620.70R42. The rice and cane combine got stuck first, the combine with Michelin tires cut a circle around the other combine so it could get pulled out. Then it got stuck crossing the tracks of the other combine.

We were able to pull the combine with Michelin tires out with one tractor, because it didn't go as deep in the mud. The other combine with rice and cane tires took 2 tractors to pull it out. The Michelin sidewall flex enough that when it gets mud on it, the mud will fall off, where on the other brands it will just ball up on the tires. "

I would recommend Michelin Ag tires to any other farmer.
