TractAir is proud to announce for CropTec a new range of products which offer exciting new possibilities to increase productivity and efficiency – Central Tyre Inflation Systems (CTIS). Agricultural tractor and trailer tyre pressures are critical if you want to get the best from your machine whilst avoiding soil damage and wasted fuel.In the field low pressures are needed to spread the weight of the machine and to maximise grip. Conversely on the road higher pressures are needed to give stability, fuel efficiency and minimum tyre wear. In both situations the best pressure also depends on the work being carried out and the load on each axle.
Working with the correct pressures has many advantages :
• Reduced wheel slip in the field = lower fuel consumption by up to 15%
• Reduced soil compaction = increased drainage. Yield can be increased by up to 6%
• Reduced tyre wear and damage by up to 20%
• Increased grip and stability on the road
• Better self cleaning of tyre tread in the field. Soil deposits on the roads near the field gates are reduced considerably.
• Improved operator comfort on both field and road
• Longer working season, especially in wet areas
• Integrates into main tractor display using ISOBUS
• Change tyre pressure whilst moving
• Proven robust technology
• Compatible with dual wheels
• Inboard air connection available
Our CTIS system allows the farmer to change pressures from inside the cab at the touch of a button, either on a dedicated control panel or built into the tractor display. This can be done while in motion and at any speed. The air supply comes from an on board engine driven compressor.
Trailer and implement tyre pressures can also be controlled from inside the tractor.
The CTIS system is easy to fit and will deliver a very quick return on investment. Please visit us at CropTec for more information and prices.
CropTec 2016
Make sure to visit TractAir on stand A31 to discuss their new CTIS system.
We also have over 140 exhibitors at the event displaying the latest science and technology across the trade stands, while CropTec’s well established seminars and hubs will feature the latest thinking on a range of key arable topics delivered by leading specialists.
The event is free to attend for those visitors that pre-book their tickets. ALL visitors will be charged £15 on the day.
