Certain agricultural operations require higher flotation to prevent soil compaction and crop damage. With this in mind, we present the BKT Flotation Rib 774 - a robust companion for hay harvesting operations. This tire is specifically developed for harvesters and trailers. Its low rolling resistance makes it ideal for the free rolling axle.
To kick things off, the BKT Flotation Rib 774 has a six rib tread pattern that ensures the best surface contact and stability. The smooth ribs provide a confident touch with the ground, keeping you in control at all times. Next, five linear grooves expel water and other ground parts from the footprint, enhancing the self cleaning ability. This directly impacts its performance in harsh conditions, lowering the risks of clogging or skidding. Besides, the closed shoulders with round edges apply a soft touch on the surface, protecting the soil and crops from compaction. They also promote even wear, resulting in a longer service life.
Equally important, the durable sidewalls make the BKT Flotation Rib 774 a great shield for the rims, preventing abrasions and scrapes. Moreover, they upgrade the maximum load capacity, allowing a single tire to withstand up to 17,900 lbs, depending on size and pressure. A tubeless structure promotes high flotation and keeps the air sealed inside to avoid leaks. Thanks to its modern rubber compound, the tire delivers a low rolling resistance that drastically reduces fuel usage for the towing tractor. At last, this model is available on the US market in sizes with a rim diameter of 22.5".
