The new, all-steel Alliance Agriflex+ 389 flotation radial is the world’s first VF (very high flexion) flotation tire, purpose-built for manure handlers:
• 30% less pressure means less soil compaction
• 25% larger footprint
Then there’s the tread—stable on the road, sure-footed in the field, with non-directional bars for traction and a dense center rib for long life. So you’ll haul more and compact less.
Click here for more on how soil compaction impacts crop yields.
