Ascenso Tire North America has unveiled its very high-flexion tire technology and has launched its VHR 3000 ag tire.
"More and more farmers have realized that they can farm better when they use well-designed tyres," says Dhaval Nanavati, CEO of Ascenso Tyres.
"Our VF technology not only meets farmers' expectations but also helps them optimize their operations while protecting their most valuable resource: the soil."
According to Ascenso tire officials, Ascenso's VF technology counteracts soil compaction by distributing weight evenly over a larger footprint, preserving soil porosity essential for water infiltration and root development. This promotes healthier crops and ensures long-term productivity of farmland.
VHR 3000
The VHR 3000 is now available to farmers worldwide and was specifically designed for harvesters, spreaders, sprayers, combine harvesters and grain carts.
"The VHR 3000 has a number of special features. starting from the VF technology and its great flexion capacity,” says Nanavati. “The tire is also optimized for cyclic field operations (CFO) and has a unique design.”
The tire, like all VF tires made of an SSR compound, features a dual-angle lug design and strong shoulders with a higher draft angle in addition to a reinforced steel-belted casing. Moreover, the special mud ejecting technology provides excellent self-cleaning properties.
“All these features make VHR 3000 a great tire that ensures great traction, stability, high load capacity, durability and resistance, maintaining peak performance even during challenging tasks in the fields or in muddy conditions,” continues Nanavati.
“And – here comes the best – thanks to the VF technology and its larger contact area at low inflation pressures, VHR 3000 greatly preserves the soil structure, making it a truly next-generation solution for modern farmers.”
The VF tire range
Ascenso's latest VF product line includes a range of patterns tailored to diverse agricultural needs.
The VDR 2000, ideal for tractors and sprayers, offers grip, stability, and durability. It is available in wide sizes, such as VF 710/70R42 and VF 800/70R38.
For self-propelled sprayers and inter-row operations, the VDR 900 features narrow-row crop sizes and steel belts for puncture resistance and is optimized for large-scale farming.
The VDR 901 offers a hybrid tread pattern with a high rubber-to-void ratio for enhanced roadability and durability. It is particularly suitable for self-propelled sprayer machinery operating across different terrains and for transport operations on hard surfaces.
The VIR 2500, instead, is a specialized implement tire designed to improve steering capability and lateral traction, reducing soil shearing with loaded implements.
