BKT at Agritechnica: AGRIMAX PROHARVEST debuts in new VF 1020/55 R38 CFO size

• BKT introduces the AGRIMAX PROHARVEST VF 1020/55 R38 CFO tire at Agritechnica 2025, designed for high-capacity self-propelled agricultural machines.

• The tire reduces soil compaction with a large footprint and operates at very low pressures while supporting heavy loads, enhancing productivity and soil preservation.

• Featuring a 38" rim for improved stability and a reinforced structure, it ensures safety, comfort, and durability during fieldwork and road transport.

• Sustainability is emphasized through durable materials and design choices that lower environmental impact by extending tire life and reducing resource use.

In modern agriculture, where every detail affects productivity and soil preservation, the harvesting phase plays a decisive role. High-capacity combine harvesters, and self-propelled equipment must operate in challenging conditions at often variable loads without compromising the soil structure.

To meet these challenges, BKT is unveiling its latest novelty at Agritechnica 2025: AGRIMAX PROHARVEST VF sized 1020/55 R38 CFO, a tire developed for high-capacity self-propelled machines. The new product targets three fundamental needs: reducing soil compaction, ensuring stability, and providing exceptional load capacity.

The new model combines sustainability and performance, thanks to purposeful design choices such as the resistant compound and the reinforced structure that contribute to reducing the overall environmental impact by limiting the need for frequent replacements and decreasing the required materials and resources for manufacturing and product life-cycle management.

Having a diameter of over two meters, this tire creates a wide and evenly distributed footprint, reducing ruts and structural damage to the soil. The VF-CFO technology allows for operation at very low pressures—down to 1.1 bar with over 10 tons per tire—and for road travel at speeds of up to 40–50 km/h carrying loads of up to 14 tons. Efficiency and versatility merge into a solution that cuts operating costs and increases productivity, helping to reduce the overall environmental impact.

Another distinctive feature is the 38" rim, an innovation compared to the traditional 32" configurations. This ensures superior stability, a decisive advantage not only when working on slopes but also during road transfers, where comfort and safety are essential requirements. To complete the structure, the steel-belted polyester casing prevents flat-spotting, preserving both performance and comfort from the moment the machine is started.

Alongside these innovative features, AGRIMAX PROHARVEST retains the strengths for which the range is renowned: cut resistance provided by specific compounds, high traction ensured by the open-shoulder design, the ability to withstand temporary overloads thanks to the CFO (Cyclic Field Operations) technology, uniform wear, and a long service life.

The new AGRIMAX PROHARVEST VF 1020/55 R38 CFO is much more than just another size: it is a concrete and advanced response to the needs of modern agriculture, combining sustainability, efficiency, and safety in a single product that does not compromise the future productivity of the land.
