Continental Tractor 70 Tyres & Tractor Wheel Alignment
Article written by Bush TyresWolds Commercials, a division of Bush tyres, fitted two full sets of Continental Tractor 70 Radial tyres & adjusted the alignment of the tractor’s front wheels to optomise the life & performance of tyre & tractor.
Continental’s newTractor70 radial tyre is wider than a standard tyre & gives the tyre a larger footprint to reduce soil compaction.
Combined with the optimum self-cleaning properties from the smooth and roundedlugs, the Tractor70 offers high traction capability.
Continental have designed a newtyre bead for the Tractor 70, which means the tyre is able to operate at lowerpressures, therefore placing less of a burden on the soil.
Very robust due to SingleWire Bead & N.flex© technology
- Gentle ground handling due to wide footprint
- Better traction due to wider footprint compared to the Tractor85 tyre
- Good traction due to smooth and rounded ‘interlug’ tread design
High Traction
- 0.2 bar – less pressure means a wider footprint, more traction & less soil compaction
- Excellent self-cleaning due to inter-lug design with centre line
N.flex© Carcass
- Patent-pending N.flex© technology radial carcass
- Dimensionally stable
- Flexibility to adapt to impacts without taking damage
Tractor Wheel Alignment
To ensure the Continental Tractor70 tyre’s performance is optimised in field, as well as on the road, a tractor wheel alignment check & adjustment was carried out.
A tractor with correctly aligned front wheels helps the tyres lastlonger, by reducing excessive wear caused by the tyre scrubbing & increases fuel economy, both in the field & on the road,.byreducing the drag effect caused when tyres are scrubbing.
