Conserving soil and increasing profit

Look after the health of your soil. Choose the right tyres, conserve the sward and increase your profit.

With the right tyres, there is no contradiction in using high output technology and conserving the soil.

In order to protect soil as a natural resource, to ensure sustainable soil fertility and to maintain soil performance, you need to make sure that loads are distributed uniformly.

Using the largest possible dimension of wheels increases the footprint of the tyres so that the soil structure is maintained in the best possible way.

  • 1 cm deep wheel marks cost up to 10 % more diesel*). (Source: Lecture by Southwest Falia Agricultural College in Soest, 2008.

  • Damage to the sward can cause yield losses amounting to 100 €/ha*). (Source: Lecture by Southwest Falia Agricultural College in Soest, 2008.

  • Heavy compaction can result in fertiliser costs up to 20 % higher.

Using high performance technology in conjunction with modern tyres that conserve the soil will continue to drive competitive agriculture in the future.

Tandem axle with compensator arm

Tandem axle with compensator arm

The compensator arm distributes the axle load between the two axles. When driving over rough ground, the weight is distributed evenly. As a result the pressure on the ground is reduced and an equal braking effect is produced on all 4 wheels.

Solid leaf or parabolic springs provide the necessary suspension. These give you a really smooth ride in the field, on the road and in the clamp.

The wide spring support of 1,100 mm is a great advantage when driving along contours and in the clamp.

Tandem axles with parabolic springs and longitudinal linkage

The stronger chassis has longitudinal linkage axle guidance and larger axles with compensator arm.

The compensator arm ensures an even distribution of the axle load on all 4 wheels in all operating conditions. The wide spring spacing of 1,100 mm provides the best suspension characteristics.

  • Axle spacing 14 t: 1450 mm for optimised driving performance with long vehicles

  • Axle spacing 16 t: 1250 mm for smoother ride on roads and steep terrain. Excellent track following properties.

Trailed steered axle

No damage to sward, even with really heavy loads. The ISOBUS terminal automatically locks the trailed steering axle at high driving speeds and when reversing.

Optional equipment.

Intelligent trailed axles
Intelligent trailed axles

Intelligent trailed axles driver assist system

This enables you to lock the axle automatically in all operating conditions even without ISOBUS.

A direction-of-rotation sensor axle detects the direction of rotation along with the speed and locks the axle within the defined speed range.

The inclination sensor also locks the axle when the defined inclination is reached. If the defined inclination value is exceeded, you can also have a warning displayed on the control terminal screen.
