For the first time ever, a tractor fitted with pneumatic agricultural tires reaches the South Pole.
The ProgressiveTraction® provided the MF 5610 with the performance to drive over 3,000 miles required
to reach the South Pole and back - where no farm tire has gone before (www.antarcticatwo.com).
For the first Antarctica mission, in 1958, the MF tractor was fitted with tracks because the requested
performance could not be achieved with a conventional tire. Today’s new generation of Trelleborg tires
provides the extra grip, traction and premium flotation required whether in the field, on the road or even
in the South Pole.
ProgressiveTraction® on agricultural tires, for all tractors between 100 and 240hp.
Leading Tractor Manufacturers are constantly developing the middle range tractor lines, demanding extra
traction performance and fuel efficiency from the tires, with limited space for larger tires.
The TM700 ProgressiveTraction® is the answer. More efficient, more sustainable to help you to produce
more, with less.
