Tractor Tire and Ballast Management

Careful management of ballast and tire inflation pressure can maximize tractive efficiency, minimize compaction, increase tractor drivetrain life and increase profitability.
Tractive efficiency measures how well a tractor uses the power available at the axle to pull an implement through the soil. Improving tractive efficiency reduces costs through improved fuel efficiency and increases the productivity of your tractor. Improving tractive efficiency doesn't usually require an investment in new equipment. The time spent in improving tractive efficiency provides immediate fuel savings and improved performance.
