Farm mobility with tracks
HOW CAN TRACK SYSTEMS IMPROVE FARM MOBILITY?
Farm mobility is increasingly important as fields expand, operations become more dispersed and weather windows narrow. Agricultural equipment must travel efficiently between fields without compromising performance. MICHELIN supports farm mobility with agricultural tracks and track systems designed for equipment such as planters, fertilizer carts, sprayers, tractors and combine harvesters.
SUMMARY:
Improved Roading Performance for Michelin Agricultural Tracks
The MICHELIN track range is designed to support faster, more reliable travel between fields. Enhanced roading capability can help reduce transit time, support efficient fleet operations and help operators stay productive during narrow weather windows.
Mid-Size Models Update
Five agricultural track configurations were introduced in early 2020 to support farmers across a variety of agricultural operations.
Large Models Update
Larger agricultural track configurations also feature increased roading speeds and extended-duration capabilities, supporting modern farming operations where field locations are increasingly dispersed.
Key features that improve mobility
Active Tensioner
An active track tensioning system with increased recoil movement improves debris management while maintaining optimal track tension. This contributes to extended track and component life.
Bogie Wheels
Pivoting, double-oscillating bogie wheels enhance stability and flexibility. They improve weight distribution and reduce point loading in both field and road conditions.
Maintenance
Oil bath hubs simplify maintenance by eliminating routine greasing or bearing repacking. This helps reduce service time and improve equipment uptime.
Frame Design
A durable track frame with heavy-duty stamped steel wheels is engineered to withstand demanding field and road environments while maintaining structural integrity.
Track Design
A specially engineered track design reduces berming during headland turns and lowers rolling resistance. This supports easier pulling both in the field and on the road.
Performance Benefits
Ground Pressure
Agricultural tracks and systems can help reduce ground pressure. Lower ground pressure contributes to minimized soil compaction and supports optimal field conditions for improved yield potential.
Improved operational efficiency
Faster, longer-duration roading capability means less time in transit and more time working, which improves labor and machine utilization during narrow planting and harvest windows.
