The Heroes of America's Supply Chain

COVID-19 has turned the lives of millions of Americans upside down. While offices and schools across the country are transitioning to remote work and online learning, farm operations are simultaneously ramping up in preparation for spring planting. Obviously, it’s imperative that steps be taken on the farm to minimize exposure risk for yourself and your workers, but given our nation’s need for food it’s more important than ever for pre-planting fieldwork to get done and for seed to get into the ground on time.

Why Choose a Smooth Tire for Your Skid Steer or Loader

There is an abundance of tread patterns available to operators looking to equip their skid steers and loaders with application-specific tires. Whether it’s a super-deep tread like our Muddy Buddy or a technical tread such as our 550 MultiUse, the tread pattern of the tire you choose will have an enormous impact on your machine’s performance. Because tread patterns play a primary role in the way we talk about tires, we’re often asked why would someone choose a smooth tire (a tire without a tread)? And, what advantages do smooth tires offer?

Understanding VF Farm Tires 

A quick Google search will pop up numerous articles—many published by us—touting the benefits of VF tires, and testimonials from customers who’ve gotten great results using them. Most of the columns and blogs will tell you why you should put VF tires onto your farm machinery, but very few actually explain what VF farm tires are, and why you should consider investing in them.

Choosing Steel-Belted Radial Farm Tires 

Farmers are becoming increasingly aware of the many performance benefits of radial ag tires over traditional bias tires; consequently, radials are becoming a common sight on farm operations of every size. Radials provide better traction, lower fuel consumption, and offer more comfort—and the addition of steel belts in the construction of radial tires can super-charge their performance advantage over bias tires and their non-steel-belted radial counterparts.
