BKT's philosophy is always the same, there is a perfect tire for every situation. Also, for muddy terrain.

This is why the tires which face the challenge of mud have been specifically designed for that end. Their design is in fact aimed at overcoming various challenges regarding traction on "sagging" soil, where the grip is not uniform, where the tire must self-clean quickly. It must also be resistant to tears and offer maximum safety and control when driving.

The tread design of these tires is more aggressive, for greater grip and to drive through mud, thanks to higher and better spaced blocks. These allow the tire to dig deep, facilitating grip, while the wider spacing helps with self-cleaning, an extremely important feature when working on muddy surfaces and terrain.

There are various agricultural machines – from tractors to sprinkler systems, passing through telehandlers – which have to work on slippery soil and for them BKT has developed specific ranges.

Starting from AGRIMAX ELOS, designed for tractors operating on wet and boggy terrain. This tire has been designed to ensure excellent traction even in the most complex working conditions, such as rice fields, as well as excellent self-cleaning thanks to the extra-deep tread. The sides of this tire are also equipped with sidewall protectors for maximum safety and protection against any impact or damage. It is available in eight different sizes.

Also pivot sprinkler systems often work in mud and for them BKT has developed AGRIMAX RI 818. In addition to working at low pressures to reduce soil compaction and preserve crops, this tire ensures excellent traction which is essential when operating in fields in wet and humid conditions, typically related to this application. The tread pattern also offers exceptional self-cleaning capabilities and greater stability on hillside applications thanks to its directional design. It is available in two sizes: 280/85 R 24 and 320/85 R 38. The latter has a deeper block, if compared with the traditional diagonal irrigation tires, for better grip.

Same characteristics also for the TR 117, a bias tire which is specific for irrigation applications with a central pivot, available in four sizes: 11.2 – 24, 13.6 – 24, 14.9 – 24 and 11.2 – 38. The TR 177 also features a special tread pattern which increases grip and allows for excellent self-cleaning.

The two other machines which often face wet and humid terrain are multifunctional telehandlers and spider excavators which are used to clean and maintain agricultural trenches which are prone to yield.

For these two applications BKT proposes CON STAR, which guarantees great performance under any conditions thanks to the firm grip, due to the large lugs which increase the contact area with the ground below. The cut-and-chip resistant compound also guarantees resistance and durability, while the diagonal design avoids lateral slippage, even when fully loaded - a fundamental element for these applications. CON STAR has a load index of 168 in the 440/80 - 24 size, which means that it can handle loads of up to 5,600 kg without losing stability. This tire is available in 11 different sizes.

It is not only tractors that do the "dirty" work, but there are many different machines that must do their best even on the most difficult terrains, such as mud.

BKT tires are designed to meet all the needs of agricultural businesses and are created on the basis of direct feedback from farmers, to help them overcome their everyday challenges. This is BKT's philosophy.
