What are the best agricultural tires for my tractor?

The best choice depends on your tractor’s horsepower, your primary application and your soil type. For general arable farming on mixed soils, standard radial tires like the Trelleborg TM800 offer proven all round performance. For operations on sensitive or compaction prone soils, IF tires (TM1000) or VF tires (TM1060, TM800 PowerFlex) deliver the same load capacity at significantly lower inflation pressures, reducing soil damage. The Trelleborg Tire Selector provides personalized recommendations based on your machine and use case.

What is the difference between IF and VF agricultural tires?

IF (Increased Flexion) tires carry the same load as a standard radial tire at 20% lower air pressure. VF (Very High Flexion) tires go further, allowing up to 40% lower pressure at the same load. Both technologies increase the tire’s ground contact area, which reduces soil compaction and improves traction. VF tires are particularly valuable for high horsepower tractors working on soft or wet soils where preserving soil structure directly impacts future crop yields.

What tire sizes does Trelleborg offer for agricultural tractors?

Trelleborg offers one of the widest size ranges in the industry, from compact front axle sizes up to large tractor tires such as 900/65R46 for high horsepower machines. Popular mid range sizes include 520/70R38, 580/70R38 and 650/65R42. A complete listing of all available sizes and their specifications is available in the Trelleborg Tire Book or through the product filter on this page.

How do agricultural tires affect soil compaction?

Every pass of a tractor compresses the soil beneath it. Over time, this compaction reduces water infiltration, root growth and ultimately crop yield. Research published by Cranfield University (UK) estimates that subsoil compaction costs European agriculture approximately €1.2 billion per year in lost productivity (Source: Cranfield University, Natural Capital Solutions, 2022). Wider tires, lower inflation pressures and IF/VF technology all work to distribute the tractor’s weight over a larger area, reducing the depth and severity of compaction with each pass.

What does ProgressiveTraction® mean on Trelleborg tires?

ProgressiveTraction® is Trelleborg’s patented lug design, featured on the TM700, TM800, TM900, TM1000 and TM1060 ranges. Unlike conventional single anchor lugs, the ProgressiveTraction® double lug grips the soil at two distinct points. This provides measurably higher traction, reduces vibration and lowers fuel consumption during field operations. In independent plowing tests, ProgressiveTraction® tires demonstrated less slip and shorter working times per hectare compared to competitor premium tires of the same size.

Agricultural Tire Technology: Standard, IF, VF and Beyond

Choosing the right farm tractor tires depends on your operation, your soil conditions and your machine. Trelleborg offers four core technology tiers, each designed for a specific set of demands:

Standard Radial (R-1): The TM600 and TM800 lines deliver proven performance for mixed field and road use. The radial construction provides a large, even footprint that reduces slip, lowers fuel consumption and extends tread life compared to bias ply alternatives. The TM800 ProgressiveTraction® variant uses a patented double lug design that anchors at two points for measurably higher traction per revolution.

IF (Increased Flexion): IF tires such as the TM1000 ProgressiveTraction® carry the same load as a standard radial at 20% lower inflation pressure. This translates to a larger ground contact area, reduced soil compaction and improved traction in soft or wet field conditions. The European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation (ETRTO) defines IF tires under its standard for Agricultural Tyres and Rims (Source: ETRTO Standards Manual, Section 5).

VF (Very High Flexion): VF tires like the TM1060 and TM800 PowerFlex operate at up to 40% lower pressure than a standard tire at the same load. The TM1060’s Wing profile maximizes the tread contact width, distributing weight across a wider patch than conventional VF tires.

Specialized Applications: For flooded rice paddies, the TM600 Rice offers deep lugs and optimized self cleaning properties. For row crops requiring narrow wheel spacing and minimal plant damage, Trelleborg offers dedicated narrow profile options. And for operations that combine field and forestry work, the T410 Agroforest provides reinforced sidewalls and an aggressive tread pattern for dual use environments.
