Healthy Soil with the Right Tires from Interpneu AG

The foundation for high yields in agriculture is healthy soil. It stores water and nutrients and ensures optimal plant growth. In addition to fertilization, crop protection, and sufficient rain, the right technology is crucial to prevent soil compaction.

Preventing Soil Compaction

Good soil is porous, even below the tilled layer. Between the solid soil particles are pores that make up to 45% of the soil volume. These pores ensure water drainage, aeration, and provide space for roots to grow. Overly heavy machinery such as combine harvesters or beet harvesters can compact the soil, which is why the right tire is crucial to protect the soil and secure yields.

Optimizing Vehicle Load and Tire Pressure

Before use, the vehicle load should be determined and the tire pressure adjusted. Lower pressure increases the contact area, distributes weight better, and reduces soil impact. This keeps the soil loose and reduces slippage. However, pressure that is too low or too high can cause tire damage or increased fuel consumption.

IF and VF Tires for Maximum Performance

Interpneu AG recommends the use of IF (Improved Flexion) and VF (Very High Flexion) tires for heavy loads. IF tires carry 20% more load at the same pressure, and VF tires up to 40%. Their special carcass technology allows for high load capacity, less manual pressure adjustment, and speeds up to 60 km/h.

Efficient Field Cultivation

Modern agricultural businesses rely on mechanized land management and optimally matched tires. Contractors with large machinery fleets can efficiently implement crop rotation and soil conservation, and select the appropriate tires to protect soil and yields.
