Aiming to help agribusinesses to take full advantage of agroforestry, BKT now offers two tires specifically designed to meet the needs of mixed usage, in which combining operational efficiency on farming land with excellent performance in woodland areas is vital.
The two tires — FORESTMAX (radial construction) and FORESTLAND (cross-ply construction) — respond to the typical needs of rural areas that are characterized by a high degree of land diversity, such as in agroforestry, thus demanding from an operational point of view and highly challenging for the machinery.
Robustness and cut-and-chip resistance under the toughest operating conditions are key features of these two tires. FORESTMAX features a specially developed tread compound and a steel-belted structure that significantly reduce the risk of punctures on woodland; while on rough and uneven terrain, the tire ensures excellent traction and stability thanks to its strong open shoulder. FORESTLAND, on the other hand, is a particularly strong and resistant tire that is able to cope also with the most challenging conditions thanks to a special polyester casing and its strong sidewall, ensuring a long product life.

The combination of tread resistance and shoulder design makes FORESTMAX a tire with excellent self-cleaning properties, which can also be used for some agricultural operations with tractors, such as soil tillage and stone crushing. FORESTLAND's open shoulder design, instead, provides excellent traction on soft soils, while the stiff, reinforced tread lugs ensure good grip on any terrain along with high self-cleaning properties.
Stability is another feature these two products have in common — essential for tackling the harsh operating conditions of forestry in full safety.
