VF CombineMaster: a reliable partner on and off the field
The use on combine harvesters places very special demands on tires. During harvesting, they have to withstand both cyclical loads in the field and high speeds on the road. But even outside the harvesting season, agricultural machinery is needed off the field. For example, a farmer, Magnus Claesson, uses the 620/70R26 VF CombineMaster to plough snow on his 350-hectare farm in Västeras, Sweden. Especially on muddy ground, the VF CombineMaster impresses with good traction when loading and can be used by Claesson with 40 percent less tire pressure. This provides additional protection against soil compaction.
Full flexibility thanks to HexaBead and VF technology
The VF CombineMaster offers exceptionally high core strength thanks to HexaBead core technology. The hexagonal core allows the carcass material to wrap around the core in a more effective way, thus improving power transmission. The HexaBead core design also maximizes the load of capacity of the carcass. The technology was developed specifically for combine front tires and ensures high torque from the rim to the tire. VF tires not only allow farmers to save time and fuel, but also to avoid damaging soil compaction. VF technology allows the tire to be used at lower air pressure. This means that the tire can be driven without pressure adjustment to the weight of the load and the ground without degradation. Thus, VF tires deliver constant load capacity even at high speeds and, compared to standard tires, allow a reduction in tire pressure while maintaining the same performance. In addition, the combination of patented N.flex technology and innovative d.fine lug technology ensures very good flexibility with low vibration at the carcass and high resistance to wear.
