With the planters preparing to roll, it is a good time to examine your tires.
Safety managers with Firestone Ag have a quick checklist to get you started.
“Start by evaluating what your needs are and knowing your equipment and application. You want to look for a tire with a load index and speed rating that’s sufficient for the weight and the usage that you’re using it. Knowing the tire’s load index and maximum load can help you select the tire that you know can carry the load appropriately while also performing the work and giving you that confidence in getting through the season,” said Bill Durivage.
Durivage also says the design of the fire also comes into play. You can check out more at Firestone Ag’s website.
