Traction is often only thought about when tyres or tracks start slipping. While this can be the result of surface conditions, paying closer attention to a tractor or vehicle’s tyres or tracks can lead to long-term savings on repairs and maintenance, reduced fuel use and increased tyre and track life. In this month’s Research Report, Kondinin Group’s research team of Mark Saunders, Ben White and Josh Giumelli look at how to best get power to the ground. We’ve also rounded up a few of the latest tyre developments relevant to broadacre farming and detailed a few operator’s experiences.

Includes the following articles:

• Make the most of traction

• Tyres flex their capabilities
• On-the-go tyre pressure adjustment improves tractor performance in Gippsland
• New tech helps tyre and track development
• Ballasting basics
• Power put to use with matched rubber
• LSW matches tracks for fuel use
