The Mitas VF 710/70R42 CFO HC 3000 is a new combine tyre from Mitas that uses Very High Flexion (VF) technology.
Among the main advantages of HC 3000 tyres compared to standard tyres are their higher maximum load capacities and lower inflation pressure during cyclic field operation. Mitas’ VF HC 3000 widens the Mitas premium product portfolio, which underlines the success of replacing Continental-branded tyres with Mitas versions.
“Mitas is the leader in the harvester tyre segment. Close to 50 per cent of new harvesters in Europe are fitted with tyres produced by the company,” Mitas’ marketing and sales director, Andrew Mabin, said. “With the new Mitas VF HC 3000, we’d like show that through innovations and the constant introduction of new products, we’ll maintain this position by offering the best product in its class.”
In comparison with the same size standard combine tyre, the Mitas VF 710/70R42 CFO HC 3000 boasts 26 per cent lower inflation pressure during cyclic field operation (CFO) resulting in significantly less soil compaction. Besides the advantages that have a direct impact on soil protection, the Mitas HC 3000 has a narrower section width, so it brings an additional advantage to farmers who need increased mobility.
“Mitas now offers a full range of tyres using VF technology. Besides HC 3000 tyres designed for harvesters, it also offers HC 1000 for sprayers and HC 2000 tyres for high-horsepower tractors,” Mitas’ agricultural tyres product manager, Pavel Kott, said.
Mitas VF 710/70R42 CFO HC 3000 has a B speed category, allowing speeds of up to 50km/hr. It’s capable of carrying loads of up to 14.3t (15km/hr cyclic). The VF tyre’s main advantage is the ability to maintain constant tyre pressure at any speed. A special feature of the Mitas VF rated tyres is the highly flexible sidewall that allows for an extended footprint competing in many respects with the ever-popular rubber tracks.
VF tyres are produced in the Mitas factories at Charles City, Iowa, and Otrokovice, Czech Republic.
