CEAT Specialty will introduce three new tires at the upcoming Farm Progress Show, demonstrating the company’s continued aggressive development of new products for North America.
The CEAT Specialty booth (#37N) will be in the northeast quadrant at the Farm Progress Show, scheduled for Aug. 27-29 in Boone, IA.
The new versatile MULTILOADMAX tire features a hybrid R-4 tread design that is just as durable on hard surfaces as it is effective in soft conditions such as snow and sand. This all-in-one tire was designed for construction, municipal and agricultural applications, including mowing, utility work, plowing snow, pulling a trailer and general tractor use.
The new LOGGER XL (LS2) range of tires for log skidders will also be highlighted in the CEAT Specialty booth. This durable tire excels in harsh forestry environments with a reinforced sidewall and shoulder protectors to guard against impacts and cuts. A multi-layer nylon carcass with wide steel breakers provides excellent puncture resistance.
The LAWNMAX, a new range of tires for garden and compact tractors, will also be showcased. Its deeper tread depth provides better traction and longer tread life than R-3 tires. A rounded shoulder design minimizes soil compaction, while the tread design ensures great self-cleaning properties.
“We look forward to the Farm Progress Show every year to meet with farmers, learn more about their challenges, and discuss how CEAT Tires can help," said CEAT Specialty Chief Executive Amit Tolani. "CEAT Specialty is committed to offering advanced technology that is accessible to all, supporting the growth and success of the North American farming community. The input we receive from farmers, original equipment manufacturers and channel partners enables CEAT Specialty to aggressively develop and supply high quality products and new sizes for North America.”
In addition to the display tires, the CEAT Specialty booth will serve to inform attendees on company factoids like:
- CEAT is the only tire company in the world to receive the Deming Grand Prize for TQM (total quality management) expertise.
