Understanding the importance ofhaymaking tires

Visithaymaking tiresPlay a key role in the hay harvesting process. They enable the tedder to move efficiently over the field, facilitating aeration and drying of the forage. Choosing the right tires is crucial to ensuring a quality harvest. They must be designed to adapt to the specific conditions of haymaking, offering stability and adaptability to different types of soil. Unsuitable tires can hamper optimal tedder operation and affect hay quality.

Visithay wheelsWheels are also essential for other agricultural equipment such as mowers, windrowers and wrappers. Choosing quality wheels for these machines helps to optimize the haymaking process, preserving the nutritive properties of the forage.

You should also bear in mind that hay tires and wheels require regular maintenance to ensure their longevity and performance.

Choosing the right diameter: focus on 28-inch models

The choice of wheel diameter is an essential aspect when selecting tires for your tedder. In particular, the 28-inch diameter is a popular choice for many farmers. 28-inch wheels offer a good compromise in terms of performance and comfort. They are well suited to touring bikes thanks to their versatility.

Why choose 28 inches ?

• Obstacle clearance :These wheels make it easy to negotiate obstacles, which is a major advantage for agricultural use.
• Comfort :They are very comfortable, thanks in particular to the use of wide tires.
• Adhesion :Their large ground contact strip provides better grip, which is crucial for tedder stability.

Dimensions :The outside diameter of these wheels is 622 mm (ETRTO), corresponding to the French 700C size.

700c tire: adaptability and performance

Visit700c tireIs renowned for its great adaptability to different ground conditions, as well as for its optimal haymaking performance. On the one hand, its width and diameter ensure good stability on the ground, even on uneven terrain. This translates into smooth tedder movement, essential for efficient haymaking.

On the other hand, this type of tire offers excellent wear resistance, thanks to materials designed to withstand the specific stresses of farming. This translates into greater durability, reducing replacement and maintenance costs.

Finally, the 700c tire is compatible with a wide range of rims, making it easy to integrate into different tedder configurations.

How to choose the right wheeltedder

To select the best wheel for your tedder, consider these criteria:

• Type of terrainRough terrain calls for robust wheels that can withstand tough conditions. Make sure your choice of tedder wheel is adapted to the nature of the terrain you're working on.

• Size and specificationsWheel size must be compatible with your tedder. Check the wheel dimensions and make sure it fits your machine correctly.

• Resilience and adaptabilityWheels must be durable, able to withstand wear and tear and the stresses of the terrain. They must also be flexible enough to adapt to different conditions.

• Maximum loadWheel load capacity must be compatible with the weight of your tedder to ensure smooth, stable travel.

• Forage qualityThe choice of wheel can affect tedding quality. Some wheels, for example, are designed to minimize the infiltration of dirt into the forage.

Be sure to consider these criteria when making your choice to ensure efficient, high-quality haymaking.

How do you know if a tire fits on a rim ?

To determine whether a tire will fit a rim, you need to refer to their dimensions. The diameter of the tire opening (often expressed in inches) must match the rim diameter. In addition, the width of the tire must be compatible with that of the rim. Information on these dimensions is usually given on the sidewall of the tire and rim. For example, a tire marked "195/60 R15" is suitable for a 15-inch rim diameter.

Please note that the load and speed ratings must also be taken into account. These guarantee that the tire can support the weight of the vehicle at a certain speed. These ratings are also indicated on the tire's sidewall.

Finally, theETRTO(European Technical Organization for Tyres and Rims) is a standard that provides information on tyre/rim compatibility. This standard is regularly updated to keep pace with changes in rim and tire dimensions.

Here are a few reminders:

• Tire diameter = rim diameter
• Tire width compatible with rim width
• Compliance with load and speed ratings
• Using the ETRTO standard as a guide

Decoding prices: how to estimate the cost ?

Estimating the cost of a tedder wheel depends on several factors. First, thewheel typePrices vary according to diameter, profile, maximum load and materials used.

• Reinforced tires are generally more expensive because of their greater strength. For example, a reinforced tire 400X8, 4 PLY, profile 3 RIB, height 425 mm, costs around 26.40€ HT.

• Complete wheels, including rim, are more expensive. A complete 350x6 wheel with rim, 4 PLY, max load 200 kg, can cost around 61.40€ HT.

It's also important to take into account the cost of delivery, which varies according to supplier and delivery location. Finally, don't forget any installation costs if you don't plan to fit the wheel yourself.

Tips for maintaining your tedder tires

To maintain your tedder tires, you need to check their condition regularly.Visual inspectionIs the first step: look for signs of wear such as cracks, deformations or cuts. Make sure the tires are not too worn, as a slick tire can compromise tedder stability and disrupt tedding.

The control oftire pressureIs also essential. Incorrect pressure can affect tedder performance and forage quality. It can also cause premature tire wear. Pressure should be checked when the tires are cold to obtain an accurate reading.

Don't forget toreplace tiresWhen necessary. Using worn or damaged tires can lead to breakdowns or accidents.

Rims and farm tires: a winning combination

Combining the right rim with the right agricultural tire can significantly improve the performance of your haymaking equipment. This combination not only ensures good traction and optimum stability, but also reduces wear on your equipment and improves its longevity.

When it comes to rims, you need to consider their diameter and width, which must match those of the tire. The material of the rim, often steel or aluminum, also influences the wheel's durability and strength. Some rims, such as those in galvanized steel, are designed to withstand the harsh conditions of agricultural work.

As for agricultural tires, they must have a profile adapted to the working conditions. For example, lined tires are particularly suitable for haymaking. What's more, their load and speed ratings must be compatible with the conditions under which haymaking equipment is used.

Finally, for a winning combination, it's essential to mount the tire correctly on the rim. Incorrect installation can lead to premature tire wear or stability problems. It is therefore advisable to call in a professional for this operation.
