Why do standard tractor tires slip under heavy load?

Under heavy load, traction can be lost when the tire can’t maintain enough contact or grip with the surface. Trelleborg tractor tires with advanced lug designs like ProgressiveTraction® help resist slipping even under torque.

How to improve traction for heavy field tasks?

Use tires with optimized tread geometry and deeper lugs that grip soil effectively. Trelleborg’s TM900 ProgressiveTraction® is engineered for superior grip and stability in demanding field conditions.

What causes premature wear of tractor tires?

Overuse on hard surfaces, high vibration, misalignment, and inconsistent inflation accelerate wear. Trelleborg tires use robust compounds and wide lug bases to reduce vibration and extend life.

What is ProgressiveTraction® technology?

ProgressiveTraction® is Trelleborg’s tread innovation that uses double-edge lug geometry and a wider base to enhance grip, self-cleaning, and tire life. TM900 uses this to deliver up to 17% more traction.

How do double-edge lug designs improve grip?

The double-edge lugs create multiple contact edges, improving soil bite and reducing slippage. In TM900, this design also helps with self-cleaning and stability.

How do you balance road performance and field traction?

You need a tread pattern that performs on both surfaces, aggressive enough for soil, yet stable on asphalt. TM900’s lug angles are optimized for good road behavior.

How does TM900 reduce vibration in high-torque operations?

The wider lug base and robust carcass dampen vibrations, giving smoother rides and less stress on components.

What are the specifications of TM900 ProgressiveTraction®?

TM900 comes in sizes like 600/70R28, 600/70R30, 650/60R34, 650/85R38, 710/70R42, and 710/75R42 with tubeless design, R1W tread type, and robust rims.

Where can I purchase TM900 ProgressiveTraction® from Trelleborg Tires?

TM900 is available through Trelleborg’s authorized dealer network; check our dealer locator to find regional distributors.

How should I maintain TM900 ProgressiveTraction® tires?

Monitor for cuts, regularly check inflation, and avoid unnecessary spinning. Use Trelleborg Tires’ maintenance guides to maximize lifespan.

What is the optimal inflation pressure under load?

The correct pressure depends on load and tire size, always follow Trelleborg Tires’ pressure tables for TM900 ProgressiveTraction®.

How can I extend the life of Trelleborg tractor tires?

Operate within specifications, rotate where applicable, and store properly during off-season.

How should I store new agricultural tractor tires?

Keep them in a cool, dry, shaded place upright or on racks, away from sunlight, ozone, and solvents. Trelleborg Tires recommends protecting compounds from degradation.

The Power of ProgressiveTraction® Technology

Unlike traditional tractor tires, ProgressiveTraction® uses a twin-edge lug system that divides power across multiple contact points. This innovation provides:

Enhanced traction under heavy torque loads
Superior self-cleaning in muddy or sticky soil
Reduced vibration and improved comfort for operators
Lower fuel consumption through optimized rolling resistance
Longer tread life and more even wear

Every TM900 tire is engineered to handle the extreme torque of today’s high-power tractors while maintaining soil health and maximizing productivity.
