Collaboration is a big part of what we do at ATG, as we work closely with our dealers to outfit customers with the best possible—and most cost-effective—tires to meet their specific needs. As such, it’s particularly satisfying when we hear stories about our dealers working to solve a customer’s issue.

With growing farm sizes and an ongoing quest for larger yields, large, high-clearance, self-propelled sprayers have gone from being a niche product aimed only at custom applicators to a vital piece of farm equipment owned by individuals and applicators alike. Like most machinery on the farm, self-propelled sprayers are ballooning in size to accommodate the needs of today’s ag operations and help farmers maximize operational productivity and increase efficiency.

Alliance Tire Americas, Inc., has introduced a new VF (very high flexion) tire for the largest class of high-clearance sprayers. With wide steel radial belts, stubble-resistant rubber compounds, sidewalls engineered for extra flexibility, and a large air chamber to support the weight of today's big machinery, the Alliance Agriflex+ 354 tire in the 420/95R50 size can handle loads of more than 15,000 pounds per wheel. The new Alliance tire is one of only two sprayer tires that size on the market.

The recent launch of ATG’s line of Galaxy Radial OTR tires is another step toward offering construction and industrial customers a complete solution to the challenges facing operators in the field. If you’re unsure why there is so much buzz around our newest offering, here are ten reasons why our Galaxy radials are good for your business.

We love learning how our dealers help customers use our application-specific AG tires to solve problems on the farm. Some of the unique solutions our dealers come up with are so great that we feel compelled to share them. Our latest tale comes from Graham Tire in Minnesota, where a tire with a higher load index was used to help a customer reduce the soil compaction and rutting their sprayer was causing.
