Product Spotlight | RUBBER TRACKS & TIRES
surrounded by multiple layers of wire plies. This combination is intended to improve stability, strength and resistance to wear during heavy agricultural operations. Reinforced drive lugs are also included in the design to enhance reliability underload. A proprietary rubber formula is used in manufacturing to balance flexibility and toughness, aiming to extend the service life of the tracks while maintaining performance in different soil conditions.
The construction approach emphasizes both exterior durability and internal reinforcement to produce tracks capable of handling the demands of tractors, combines and other agricultural equipment. Rubbertrax markets its products as a long-term solution for modern farming operations.

The S-TECH 1000X Track System for combine harvesters is designed to help farmers harvest in a variety of conditions while protecting their fields. With more than a decade of design, manufacturing and field testing behind it, the system emphasizes durability and adaptability in the field.
Providing one of the largest ground contact areas and flotation levels available, the S-TECH 1000X helps reduce soil compaction and keeps combines moving in muddy conditions where tires are less effective. Its rubber-coated ultra-highmolecular-weight polyethylene plastic wheels are built to extend the service life of both wheels and tracks.
Installation is also intended to be efficient. With its bolt-on design, operators can switch from tires to tracks in two to three hours, minimizing downtime during harvest.

AGRIMAX SPARGO
The AGRIMAX SPARGO by BKT is a tire developed for row crop applications and large agricultural sprayers. Classified as a VF, or Very High Flexion, tire, it is rated to carry up to 40 % more load at the same air pressure compared with a standard tire of similar size. It also carries a D speed rating, or up to 40 mph.
The design emphasizes traction and stability in both field and road use. Selfcleaning features are included to help maintain performance in muddy or wet soil conditions. Despite the higher load capacity, the tire is designed to maintain similar levels of soil compaction compared with standard models, supporting productivity without added field impact.
The AGRIMAX SPARGO is currently manufactured in five VF sizes suited for tractors and sprayers. Its design focuses on balancing carrying capacity, efficiency and soil protection in demanding agricultural environments..

TractorMaster
Farmers often work long hours in challenging weather and field conditions, placing heavy demands on their equipment. To address these needs, engineers have designed agricultural tires intended to perform consistently across different types of terrain while limiting downtime.
One feature is N. flex technology, which is designed to improve tire robustness by increasing flexibility and resistance to impacts. An updated bead design aims to reduce soil compaction, helping to protect field conditions during repeated passes. The inclusion of d. fine lug technology is intended to extend tread life by improving wear characteristics, resulting in higher mileage over the life of the tire.
Together, these design elements are focused on enhancing durability, maintaining traction and minimizing soil disturbance. Longer-lasting tires are intended to support uninterrupted field operations, giving producers more reliability during critical periods such as planting and harvest when time and performance are key factors.
