The Firestone Turf and Field R-3 tire goes on a vast majority of farming vehicles. It mostly finds its use on fronts, implements, tractors, and harvesters, while also having uses for golf carts. And, this R-3 design is for the drive axle use on golf courses and parks.
Firstly, this model fits standard one piece agricultural rims. The optimized tread design grips the ground better, improving traction whether you're working on soft soil, mud, or uneven terrain. It balances good grip with a smoother ride, and it reduces soil compaction, which helps protect your crops. Overall, it helps your tractor or combine work more efficiently and last longer. Adding to this, there are strong sidewalls that withstand up to 4,680 lbs per single tire, depending on the size. Another major role of these elements is the protection from lateral damage, which is very important.
Secondly, the wide footprint spreads the weight of the machine more evenly, reducing pressure on the soil. With less pressure, the soil doesn’t get compacted as much, which is better for crops since compacted soil makes it harder for roots to grow. Equally important, the open shoulders don't let excessive hot air damage the rubber. This concludes with a cooler rubber, making sure you have consistent performance. And, the innovative channels allow mud, water, and debris to flow out from under the body, which keeps the tread clean and helps maintain good traction. Finally, the available sizes on the US market start with 16'' and go up to 24'' rim diameter options.
