Farm mobility with tracks
How to improve your farm mobility with track systems?
Farm mobility is an important factor. As fields expand, operations spread out, and weather windows narrow, you are looking for equipment that travels efficiently between sites without compromising performance. Michelin continues to drive farming forward by delivering roading performance for agricultural tracks and systems used on your AG machines and implements such as planters, fertilizer carts, sprayers, tractors and combine harvesters.
SUMMARY:
Improved Roading Performance for Michelin Agricultural Tracks
MICHELIN track range is designed to answer the need for faster, more reliable transit between fields. Enhanced roading capability reduces transit time, supports lean fleet strategies, and helps operators maintain tight cost control while meeting narrow weather windows.
Mid-Size Models Update
Five agricultural track configurations introduced in early 2020 to help farmers in their farm operations.
Large Models Update
Larger agricultural track configurations also feature increased roading speeds and extended duration capabilities, supporting modern farming operations where field locations are increasingly dispersed.
Key features that improve mobility
Active Tensioner
An active track tensioning system with increased recoil movement improves debris management while maintaining optimal track tension. This contributes to extended track and component life.
Bogie Wheels
Pivoting, double oscillating bogie wheels enhance stability and flexibility. They improve weight distribution and reduce point loading in both field and road conditions.
Maintenance
Oil bath hubs simplify maintenance by eliminating routine greasing or bearing repacking. This helps reduce service time and improve equipment uptime.
Frame Design
A robust track frame with heavy duty stamped steel wheels is engineered to withstand demanding field and road environments while maintaining structural integrity.
Track Design
A specially engineered track design reduces berming during headland turns and lowers rolling resistance. This supports easier pulling performance both in the field and on the road.
Performance Benefit
Ground Pressure
Agricultural tracks and systems can help reduce ground pressure. Lower ground pressure contributes to minimized soil compaction and supports optimal field conditions for improved yield potential.
Improved operational efficiency
Faster, longer-duration roading capability means less time in transit and more time working, which improves labor and machine utilization during narrow planting and harvest windows.
Our MICHELIN tracks range for you
Michelin agricultural tracks and tracks systems are developed in collaboration with farmers to improve mobility, efficiency, and productivity. They support modern operations where uptime and consistent performance are essential.
