The new tire series—AGRIMAX RT 765, RT 855, and RT 657—is engineered for versatility, durability, and operator comfort, catering specifically to the evolving needs of small- to mid-sized farms and contract farming operations.
Utility tractors—commonly referred to as “wildcard machines” in modern agriculture—are valued for their power range (70–130 HP), fuel efficiency, and adaptability across a wide spectrum of tasks. BKT’s latest offering addresses the growing demand for tire solutions that perform reliably in both open fields and confined spaces like barns, orchards, and vineyards.
Tailored Solutions for Multifunctional Agri Needs
The newly launched tire patterns are built using advanced rubber compounds and high-traction tread designs, offering optimal grip and stability in varying terrain conditions. Their robust construction ensures wear resistance, extended life cycles, and low maintenance costs.
“Utility tractors are the strategic workhorses of today’s farms,” a BKT spokesperson said. “They need tires that are just as flexible—capable of delivering across transport, fieldwork, and precision operations.”
Each tire in the series offers unique advantages:
- AGRIMAX RT 765: Designed for open-field farming, it features excellent weight distribution and low soil compaction, making it ideal for tasks like tilling and plowing.
- AGRIMAX RT 855: A versatile performer across various surfaces, this pattern is highly durable and offers superior self-cleaning properties, suited for transitions between road and field.
