Trelleborg Tyres Introduces PFO Technology to Revolutionise Agricultural Tyre Performance

Trelleborg Tyres has once again set a benchmark in agricultural innovation with the expansion of its TM1000 ProgressiveTraction® range, now offering 15 new sizes equipped with the advanced Pressure Field Operations (PFO) technology. Designed to meet the demands of modern farming, this technology combines enhanced productivity with sustainable field practices.

PFO technology is a gamechanger for farmers managing heavy machinery and high-torque operations. By significantly increasing load capacity at low working speeds (5-15 km/h), these tyres provide superior performance under demanding conditions. Importantly, PFO technology allows farmers to reduce tyre pressure without compromising load capacity, thereby minimising soil compaction and preserving the soil structure for long-term sustainability.

Balancing Performance and Sustainability

The integration of PFO technology highlights Trelleborg’s commitment to advancing sustainable agricultural practices. Alessio Bucci, Global Product Marketing Director at Trelleborg Tyres, emphasised this mission:

“At Trelleborg Tyres, we are committed to engineering solutions that not only enhance productivity but also promote sustainable farming practices. The integration of PFO technology into our TM1000 ProgressiveTraction® range represents an additional step forward in supporting agri-professionals with tyres designed to handle the challenges of next-generation machinery and modern field operations.”

The TM1000 ProgressiveTraction® range is built with Very High Flexion (VF) technology, further distinguishing it from standard agricultural tyres. VF tyres, now enhanced with PFO, deliver greater flexibility and adaptability, ensuring optimal efficiency and field performance even under the toughest conditions.

Why PFO Technology Matters

PFO technology addresses critical agricultural challenges, such as reducing soil compaction while increasing productivity. Key benefits include:

  • Increased Load Capacity: Improved performance under heavy loads at low speeds.
  • Reduced Tyre Pressure: Minimised soil damage, promoting healthier crop yields.
  • Enhanced Durability: Designed to withstand the demands of modern machinery.

Innovation for the Future of Farming

With the addition of PFO technology to the TM1000 ProgressiveTraction® range, Trelleborg Tyres continues to lead the way in agricultural tyre innovation. By meeting the evolving needs of farmers, these tyres ensure that productivity and sustainability go hand in hand.

Farmers worldwide can now benefit from tyres engineered for the challenges of modern agriculture, reinforcing Trelleborg’s role as a trusted partner in the journey toward more sustainable farming.

Q&A

What is PFO technology in agricultural tyres?
