Titan is introducing a Goodyear-branded line of Ultra Sprayer farm tires engineered especially for high-clearance, self-propelled crop spraying equipment.
“In the past, many manufacturers used conventional tractor tires on self-propelled sprayers,” explains Jeff Vasichek, Titan’s vice president of sales and marketing. “Conventional rear tires were not built to accommodate the high load and pressure demands of today’s self-propelled sprayers. The Ultra Sprayer line was designed specifically for this application.”
The new tire has tread bars engineered to carry heavy sprayer loads and a wider lug to promote longer wear characteristics as compared to conventional tractor tires. “These design features also provide more stability and a better ride when traveling from field-to-field at road speeds up to 30 mph,” according to Vasichek.
“A significant increase in lug surface area helps improve lug wear, while increases in lug bracing and surface area combine to deliver improved durability, even under heavier loads. This design also offers superior traction in the field,” he says.
The line is available in 46-, 50- and 54-inch sizes and widths from 12.6 to 15.2 inches to accommodate row spacing of 20 to 36 inches.
