Mitas CHO tyres for combine harvesters

At the Agritechnica 2013 trade show in Hanover, Mitas will present five new CHO tyre sizes under the Continental and Mitas brands. The CHO is a tyre capable of carrying heavier loads at reduced pressure. The 900/60R32 CHO 176A8/173B and 800/70R32 CHO 175A8/172B models will be shown to visitors on the Mitas stand B 06 (hall 9).

The full range of CHO tyres unveiled by Mitas at Agritechnica includes the following models:

- 900/70R32 CHO 182A8/179B (new),

- 680/85R32 CHO 178A8/175B (new),

- 800/70R38 CHO 178D/181A8 (new),

- 900/60R32 CHO 176A8/173B (new),

- 900/60R38 CHO 178D/181A8 (new),

- 800/70R32 CHO 175A8/172B (current).

The new Mitas CHO tyres are designed to meet the specific requirements of a new generation of combine harvesters:

- maximum load capacity;

- minimum inflation pressure during cyclical harvesting operations;

- sufficient driving stability on the road;

- the use of standard rims;

- reduced ground pressure thanks to a wider contact area with the ground;

- compliance with legal requirements (limited vehicle width).

According to Andrew Mabin, Sales and Marketing Director at Mitas, ?this extension of the CHO tyre range proves that these tyres are highly favoured by combine harvester manufacturers. Mitas now offers six CHO tyre sizes on markets worldwide under the Mitas and Continental brands.?
