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.

Titan Tire Corporation is a subsidiary of Titan International, Inc. (NYSE: TWI), a holding company that owns subsidiaries that supply wheels, tires and assemblies for off-highway equipment used in agricultural, earthmoving/construction and consumer (including all terrain vehicles) applications.
