Maxam Showcases VF Technology at Farm Progress Show

Maxam Tire North America Inc. announced it is showcasing the new VF technology products during the Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Ill. from Aug. 29 – 31st.

The new VF technology sizes on display will be the Agrixtra N, Agrixtra 85, Agrixtra XL and Agrixtra H product series.

Maxam’s VF technology tires are designed to “carry the load, minimize soil compaction, improve traction and reduce slip,” according to Maxam officials.

The contact patch is larger on the tire, enhancing the tires flotations while also minimizing ground pressure.

According to Maxam officials, the construction of the tire can support either 40% more tire load at normal air pressures or operate at 40% less air pressure for the same tire load at any given speed without compromising ground pressure.

“We look forward to introducing our newest VF agricultural sizes at Farm Progress while celebrating the solutions we have delivered in the industry over the last 10 years,” says Gregory Gilland, vice president of Global Agriculture at Maxam.

“Maxam’s radial agricultural tires are designed to deliver a simple, yet effective range of tires grouped by aspect ratio and size to keep up with global farm equipment’s evolution.”

Along with the new VF Agrixtra series, the company will be featuring the all-new Agilxtra series of agriculture tires.

The Agilxtra, Maxam’s new radial high-speed D-rated implement 13 flotation tire for agricultural tanker and trailer applications will also be on display.

As opposed to the existing Maxam steel casing and steel belted Flotxtra series, the all-new MS962R Agilxtra radial tire is designed with a fabric casing supported by steel belts to enhance flotation, increase traction, and reduce soil compaction in any mixed-use surface application.

Maxam will be at booth #426 at the Farm Progress Show.
