A growing number of machines require this type of tyre with the challenges being, to carry the loads imposed, be narrow enough to fit crop rows, whilst at the same time giving sufficient crop clearance. In order to minimise soil compaction, the contact patch of the tyre must be wide and long.
The ruts caused by tramline operations can cause problems during harvesting and slow down later cultivations, thus reducing productivity.
Large diameter wheels require specialist wheels, especially if fitted to machines carrying heavy loads. The forces exerted, even when working across the mildest of slopes can be considerable, substandard wheels may crack, or at worst damage the tyre.
