Titan Introduces Goodyear Farm Tire for Sprayer Applications
QUINCY, Ill.-Goodyear Farm Tires - a Titan Tire Corporation
brand - has introduced the Ultra SprayerTM line of tires specifically designed
for high clearance, self-propelled sprayers.
"In the past, many manufacturers used conventional tractor
tires on self-propelled sprayers," said Jeff Vasichek, vice president of sales
and marketing. "Conventional rear tires were not built to accommodate the high
load and pressure demands of today's self-propelled sprayers. The Ultra Sprayer
line was designed specifically for this application."
The Ultra Sprayer tire features tread bars engineered to
carry heavy sprayer loads and a wider lug to promote longer wear
characteristics as compared to conventional tractor tires. These design
features also provide more stability and a better ride when traveling from
field-to-field at road speeds up to 30 mph.
A significant increase in lug surface area helps improve lug
wear, while increases in lug bracing and surface area combine to deliver
improved durability, even under heavier loads. This design also offers superior
traction in the field.
The Ultra Sprayer product line is available in 46-, 50- and
54-inch sizes and widths from 12.6 to 15.2 inches to accommodate row spacing
from 20 to 36 inches.
