Low-pressure tires
These are specialized agricultural tires with a large footprint designed to reduce soil compaction and prevent heavy machinery from sinking into the ground.

Low-pressure tires are essential for modern field operations, as they increase the surface area in contact with the ground, effectively distributing the equipment's weight. By reducing ground pressure, farmers can minimize soil compaction, which is critical for preserving soil structure, aeration, and root health during high-load seasons.
Effective management requires adjusting the air pressure according to the task: lower pressure is utilized in the field to enhance traction and flotation, while higher pressure is necessary for road transport to ensure stability and reduce wear. Common mistakes include failing to adjust pressure when transitioning between road and field, which leads to premature tire damage and excessive energy consumption.
