Yokohama TWS has announced a range extension for its Trelleborg TM800 ProgressiveTraction line. 

Two sizes, 540/65R28 and 650/65R38, have been released for mid- to high-horsepower tractors, according to Yokohama TWS officials.  

Four more sizes are “set to roll out progressively in the upcoming weeks. 

“The TM800 ProgressiveTraction is designed to deliver outstanding results across diverse agricultural terrains, from soft to hard soils. By enhancing operational efficiency, it reduces working time... improves fuel economy and extends tread life, ensuring more productive and cost-effective farming operations. 

“Its advanced ProgressiveTraction tread design significantly enhances traction, leading to improved performance in the field. Driving comfort and stability are further enhanced by its optimized lug angles and shapes, providing a smoother, safer, and more enjoyable work experience. 

“Additionally, the TM800 ProgressiveTraction is designed with a special tread pattern design and engineered using premium materials. This enhancement translates into fewer tire replacements, allowing for longer working hours and reduced operational costs.”
