Sweet! Trelleborg launches sugar cane tire

July 31, 2013

Trelleborg Wheel Systems Americas Inc. has launched its new 710/70R38 TM800 SugarCane specifically engineered for sugar cane applications.

“The Trelleborg TM800 SugarCane tire is the result of years of experience and research in sugar cane fields,” says Lorenzo Ciferri, marketing director agricultural and forestry tires at Trelleborg.

“For example, to cope effectively with sugar cane stubble, the profile of the tire lug’s base is significantly smoother and more rounded when compared to a conventional tractor tire.”

The structure of the new 710/70R38 TM800 SugarCane has been designed to handle high torque and load transmitted to the tire during demanding sugar cane farming operations. The bead width has been increased by 12% to withstand the stress driven of severe farming conditions.

In addition, the advanced profile of the tread lugs has been strengthened to boost the tire tread resistance.
