Ag Tire Talk is a blog where James Tuschner asks tire manufacturers and other industry experts for their opinions and advice on key topics in the world of ag tracks. This edition focuses on tire lifespan and longevity.
How can proper tire selection and air pressure improve carbon sequestration, and what specific products and practices can make the biggest difference in regenerative agriculture?
How much soil compaction (percentage wise) is typically done on the first pass, what are recommended tips relative to defining traffic paths (easy operator changes) and run conditions (dry or wet) to reduce soil compaction, and do you have recommendation on penetrometer usage to determine level and depth of compaction?
Why are agricultural tires so difficult to find, why are prices increasing, how long will this continue, and what steps do you recommend producers take to make sure they have the tires they need?
Most rim widths are set by TRA standards and follow a rule for the overall width of the tire.
