TM700 ProgressiveTraction® Where no tire has gone before Timeline: Tuesday, December 9th 2014. 04.30 a.m. CET. For the first time ever, a tractor fitted with pneumatic agricultural tires reaches the South Pole. The TM700 ProgressiveTraction®provided the MF 5610 with the performance to drive the 5,000 km required to reach the South Pole and back - where no farm tire has gone before (www.antarcticatwo.com). For the first Antarctica mission, in 1958, the MF tractor was fitted with tracks because the requested performance could not be achieved with a conventional tire. Today’s new generation of...

Performance for farmers, care for the environment On the sidewall of the tire, the BLUE TIRE logo represents the improvements, patents and production procedures that the TM700 ProgressiveTraction® manufacturing process has been through in order to help farming professionals to produce more, with less. The new range has been eco-designed in association with BLUE TIRE Technology which includes: • new eco-friendly materials • advanced tread and bead concepts • new sidewall designs • eco-friendly manufacturing procedures PREMIUM TRACTION SUPERIOR FLOTATION REDUCED FUEL CONSUMPTION EXCELLENT...

The key features of ProgressiveTraction® The unbeatable performance of the Trelleborg ProgressiveTraction®is testament to its innovative double edge lug. While its two points of anchorage boost grip, the stronger base of the lug significantly reduces vibrations, wear and fuel consumption. In addition, the double edge lug also enhances the inter-lug terraces, maximising the self-cleaning capability of the tire.

Dual anchor, better grip The “double edge” increases the grip on the soil, improving traction while reducing slippage. Reduced vibration, less fuel consumption For a standard tire, the lug behaves like a “brush”. This accelerates the wear and increases the rolling resistance. The wider base of the ProgressiveTraction® lug ensures a higher resistance to lug vibrations. Enhanced self cleaning, higher traction The extra lug behaves as an additional terrace on the tread profile enhancing its great self cleaning capability and increasing the lug efficien

Redefining traction performance The higher grip of TM700 ProgressiveTraction®is driven by the dual anchor of the lug. The advanced design greatly reduces the tire slippage ensuring maximum traction. The ProgressiveTraction® technology boosts traction capability by up to 18%. Traction performance - Index Higher is better Premium Competitor Market average Budget Competitor

Maximum flotation, extra wide footprint The additional lug base surface reduces sinking of the tire in the soil. In addition, the empowered sidewall flexibility leads to the widest footprint in the market, reducing soil compaction. Footprint comparison - Index Higher is better +8% wider footprint vs. the market average Market average Reference size: 520/70R38 Load: 3.350 kg Inflation pressure: 1,6 bar

Great cost savings in the field During high torque operation, the TM700 ProgressiveTraction® tire performs better than premium brand competitors and significantly better than the market average. The reduced working time per hectare results in lower emissions and premium cost efficiency.

Extra mileage and low fuel consumption The reduced “brush” effect of the lug prevents the energy dissipation, positively influencing the rolling resistance. With this reduction of wasted energy, the fuel consumption is reduced and the lifetime of the tire increases by as much as 780 hours, compared to the market average. The outcome is a reduced total cost of ownership of the tire.

Premium comfort and handling on the road Compared to the market average, the TM700 ProgressiveTraction®tire provides you with better handling and safety performances. The new lug design avoids vibrations and assures premium comfort, essential for long and demanding farming operations. In addition, the TM700 ProgressiveTraction®also reduces noise pollution, benefiting both the operator and the environment.
