BKT tyre products have been used in agricultural and industrial applications throughout Ireland for over 25 years. Over almost three decades, BKT tyre products have consistently delivered top performances in a wide range of agricultural, construction, and industrial work, enduring various Irish weather and ground conditions. The Agrimax radial tyre range, in particular, is highly popular and well-regarded among farmers and contractors across the country.
Agrigear stocks an extensive range of Agrimax tyres suitable for general farming work and for demanding contracting operations. The Agrimax product portfolio from BKT offers a diverse range of radial tractor tyres available in 65 series (Agrimax RT-657), 70 series (Agrimax RT-765) and 85 series (Agrimax RT-855). Each series is manufactured in many sizes with specific load/speed ratings relevant to each tyre.
The Agrimax Factor tyre range from BKT, launched in Ireland last year, is ideal for both haulage and soil tillage operations. This 70-series tractor tyre offers great handling, extraordinary driving comfort, and excellent durability, meeting the demands of heavier machinery and e-vehicle battery packages. In recent years, BKT has introduced two new ranges of tyres, Agrimax Force (I.F. technology tyres) and Agrimax V-Flecto (V.F. technology tyres). These tyres are designed to carry the same load as standard tyres but operate at reduced inflation pressures, resulting in a larger footprint, improved traction, and reduced soil compaction. Both tyre ranges are yielding excellent performance results, with new sizes regularly being added to the ranges.
For high-speed applications, the Agrimax Sirio is a high-speed tyre (up to 70km/h), designed for high-performance tractors being used for haulage or tillage work. This tyre is also available in some sizes featuring I.F. technology, allowing heavier loads at low inflated pressure.
Designed for use on harvesters, loaders, tractors and tankers, the Agrimax Teris tyre from BKT is an excellent heavy-duty multi-purpose radial tyre. The strong casing structure of the tyre, together with the large footprint area enables heavy load carrying capacity. The combination of excellent traction with reduced soil compaction is one of the key distinguishing features of the Agrimax Teris tyre series.
The Agrimax RT-600 tyre was developed by BKT for modern harvesting equipment and for grassland machinery. This tyre is also ideally suited for slurry tankers, with its key feature of a 45° lug angle enabling excellent hillside grip as well as smooth running on roads. With more lugs, lower tread depth and round shoulders, ground pressure is evenly distributed, lessening damage to soft soil and grass.
For row-crop work, BKT tyres are available in many sizes in the Agrimax RT-945 and RT-955 ranges. In addition, the specially designed Agrimax Spargo tyre range, featuring V.F. technology, enables higher load-carrying capacity at low inflated pressure.
When choosing tractor tyres, consider axle loads, ground pressure, and maintaining the correct ratio between front and rear tyres as per the manufacturer's recommendations. With modern machinery, investing in higher quality and more expensive tyres can lead to long-term benefits. BKT's agricultural tyres are designed to maximize vehicle performance.
