He Likes Michelin Ag Tires

He Likes Michelin Ag Tires TIRES/WHEELS Miscellaneous 27-5-14 Steve Fox, Fox Farm, Corning, Arkansas, recently told FARM SHOW that he's been using Michelin "Agribib" XM28 radials to harvest for two years. He thinks no other tires even come close in tough conditions thanks to the larger footprint flexible sidewalls on the Michelin Agribibs. He says they give him more stability and flotation in muddy fields. "Since I switched to Michelin, I'd estimate I reduced my soil damage by 50 percent, which means better yield. I also have less downtime from flats and being stuck." Fox says if a combine with Michelin radials does get stuck, it doesn't sink as deep into the mud as one with regular rice and cane tires. That means he can pull out the stuck combine with only one tractor, rather than the two it generally took him before to free a combine with rice and cane tires. "The Michelin sidewalls flex enough so that when mud gets on them, it falls right off," he adds. "With other brands, mud just balls up on the tires. "I would recommend Michelin Ag radials to all farmers, regardless of crop," he says. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Steve Fox, Fox Farm, 3280 Highway 135, Corning, Ark. 72422 (ph 870 259-3557).
