How New Tires Can Improve Equipment Performance
Have you ever wondered how new tires can improve your equipment's performance? Buying a new set of tires is a transaction we are all familiar with, but what are the true benefits of this investment? We are here to shed some light on this topic.
First, brand-new tires offer a smoother ride in the field and on the roads. They are sturdy and strongly built, so your equipment will vibrate less when moving. This helps your equipment all around because having a machine that shakes and rattles is something no farmer wants and will cause more issues down the road.
Next, putting new tires on your equipment provides you with more traction and less slippage. This is especially important if you run your equipment in wet conditions. Less slippage also means less fuel consumption, and with fuel prices going up globally right now, investing in new agriculture tires can help you save a little money on the amount of fuel your ag equipment uses.
Lastly, having new tires reduces the risks of picking up a nail or getting punctures. This is because of the new and deeper tread depth versus a tire that might be almost smooth or worn out from so many hours of work. Putting new tires on can also increase the value of a tractor or piece of equipment. So, if you are looking to sell your equipment at top dollar, new tires may be a good place to start.
Overall, new tires offer a smoother ride in and out of the field, they provide you with more traction and less slippage, they decrease your chances of getting a puncture, and they will increase the value of your equipment. What’s not to love about a new set of ag tires?
One of the simplest steps farmers can take is scheduling routine tire inspections, the more often, the better, and knowing the signs for when it’s time to replace a tire.
