Trelleborg presented its new TM1060 tyre range at Agritechnica 2015. Engineered with ProgressiveTraction technology, the innovative TM1060 upgrades the Trelleborg offering of high-performance solutions for new generations of tractors, ranging from 80hp to more than 300hp.
Trelleborg Wheel Systems’ Piero Mancinelli said the company held a longstanding commitment to ensure it was well placed to meet the needs of existing and future generations of medium and high power tractors, that demand extra performance in terms of traction and efficiency of their tires.
“In 1975, Trelleborg was the first to introduce the low profile 60 Series and we’re delighted to now launch the new TM1060 range,” he added. “The range boasts an improved load capacity and overall performance, without increasing the tyre’s dimensions.
“The new Trelleborg TM1060 not only replicates but surpasses the performance of 60 Series tires. The largest size in the new range, the VF 710/60R42, provides a carrying capacity up to 40 per cent higher than premium alternatives in the market. In addition, unlike many existing solutions on the market, the TM1060 is suitable for use on tractors more than 300hp and can be used with narrower rims, enhancing tractor efficiency.
“Applying our ProgressiveTraction technology to the new TM1060 range has meant that we’ve once again raised the bar when it comes to enhancing the efficiency and productivity of today’s and tomorrow’s farming, while increasing the environmental performance of the tractor.”
Thanks to Trelleborg’s ProgressiveTraction technology, the new TM1060 range promises to improve farming efficiency with its double lug. The ProgressiveTraction Tread, with the innovative double lug edge, boosts grip while the strong base of the lug significantly reduces vibrations. Operating on the soil at different times, the double lug progressively releases higher traction when required.
In addition, the flexible carcase guarantees a homogenous deformation distribution and, absorbing road surface roughness, assures a smoother ride.
On the field, the newly born ProgressiveTraction design provides superior traction capacity, reduced working time, as well as lowering operating and fuel costs. Capable of working at extremely low pressure, with the typical aspect ratio of a 60 series, the TM1060 generates an extra wide footprint area providing premium respect for the soil, farm productivity and crop yield.
On the road, the new sidewall design significantly lowers rolling resistance, fuel consumption and emissions, while increasing stress tolerance, comfort and security for the operator. The inter-lug terracing at the base of the lug helps with mud ejection, maximizing the self-cleaning capability of the tire.
Sizes for the new range include: VF 520/60R28 (rated 149D); VF 600/60R28 (157D); VF 600/60R30 (158D); VF 650/60R38 (166D); VF 710/60R38 (171D); and VF 710/60R42 (173D).
