BKT Launches Agrimax Proharvest VF for Harvesting Efficiency

Mumbai - Balkrishna Industries Limited (BKT)., an off-highway tires manufacturer, has unveiled its latest innovation for the agricultural sector, the Agrimax Proharvest VF tire. Engineered to meet the specific challenges of modern harvesting operations, this advanced tire offers a unique blend of performance, durability, and sustainability.

At the core of the Agrimax Proharvest VF tire is Very High Flexion (VF) technology, which allows it to carry up to 40% more load than standard tires at the same inflation pressure. This feature enables more uniform weight distribution across a larger surface area, significantly reducing soil compaction and promoting long-term soil health and conservation.

Designed for tough field conditions, the tire is built with a reinforced polyester casing and three layers of steel belts that enhance its resistance to deformation and offer robust protection against mechanical stress. This structural strength ensures the tire can withstand the rigorous demands of harvesting work, even under the most challenging operating environments.

BKT has developed a specialized compound for the Agrimax Proharvest VF, offering strong resistance to cuts, chips, and stubble damage, reducing punctures and maintenance costs. Its innovative open-shoulder tread ensures better traction and self-cleaning, maintaining peak performance in fields and on roads.

The Agrimax Proharvest VF delivers smooth on-road performance with even wear, better steering, and enhanced comfort, reducing operator fatigue. Its CFO technology handles temporary overloads during peak harvesting, ensuring durability and long-term reliability.

Mr. Dilip Vaidya, Senior President & Director of Technology at BKT, said, “Thanks to its innovative design, the Agrimax Proharvest tackles the challenges of sustainability by reducing the pressure exerted on the soil, since it has a larger footprint. Not only does this preserve soil health, but it also promotes higher and more sustainable farming yields.”

The Agrimax Proharvest VF offers extended service life thanks to its durable compound and strong structure, reducing replacements, material use, and waste. With this tire, BKT delivers a solution that boosts both agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability.
