At the FIMA stand, BKT presents not less than four patterns out of its proven and reliable AGRIMAX lineup:
First on display, the novelty of the year 2017: Agrimax V-Flecto in size VF 710/60 R 42 NRO, a winning mix of technologies that enhances performance of latest-generation tractors on any kind of terrain. Reduced soil compaction, less operating costs and increased load capacity are the particular traits of this unique tire excelling in both performance and reliability. Agrimax V-Flecto enables farmers to preserve the soil thanks to its optimized footprint on the ground and a 10% larger tread profile. This tire also maximizes load capacity with unchanged inflation pressure. It is actually able to transport 40% more weight compared to a standard tire of the same size and with the same recommended rim. Last but not least, this new-entry shows extraordinary resistance over the time even at low operating pressure. This leads to minor overall operating costs of the tires.
Another high-end product, Agrimax Force, is exhibited at FIMA in size IF 800/70 R 42. This radial tire has been particularly developed for high-powered tractors (over 250 HP) to provide outstanding performance and great efficiency. The enhanced IF technology, which has been further developed by BKT, allows for carrying heavy loads at low pressure with improved traction. The larger footprint at low pressure contributes to reduce soil compaction. The special tread design ensures top self-cleaning properties making the tire ideal and comfortable for both field operations and road transfers (up to 65 km/h).
Agrimax Fortis (size 710/75 R 42) is the ideal tire for all preparation, seeding and tilling operations. Designed for high-powered 4WD tractor, this tire shows a series of advanced traits optimizing modern farmers' business productivity. These include excellent traction even on tough terrains along with extraordinary flotation features turning into less soil compaction. The low rolling resistance ensures fuel savings as well as reduced emissions into the environment.
Agrimax Teris (size 800/65 R 32) is a radial tire, which has been particularly engineered for supporting the increasing weight of combine harvesters and modern spreaders carrying heavy loads without damaging crops. The optimized lug design and the reinforced shoulder provide outstanding traction and stability. Thanks to its large contact patch on the ground, Agrimax Teris shows excellent flotation features ensuring best soil protection and a maximum yield.
As part of the RIDEMAX lineup, instead, Ridemax FL 693 M is showcased in size 560/60 R 22.5 – a radial tire for equipment engaged in frequent road transfers with trailers or hauled tank trucks. This tire has been designed mainly for road usage. With its D speed index, it can reach up to 65 km/h – if permitted – providing a great advantage in terms of timesaving. Another essential aspect is the low rolling resistance resulting in significant fuel economy.
The last showpiece belongs to the MULTIMAX lineup: Multimax MP 527 is on display at the stand in size 440/80 R 28. This multi-purpose radial tire that offers excellent traction and stability even in lifting mode has been specifically designed for telehandlers employed in agro-industrial applications. The aggressive tread pattern ensures top traction at any service condition. Stability in lifting mode has been increased by the robust sidewall. The strong casing and the special compound contribute to making Multimax MP 527 an extraordinarily reliable tire showing first-class cut-and-chip resistance.
