Improved fuel efficiency and increased productivity within reach of more farming professionals: Nokian Tyres introduces Soil King VF product family for HHP tractors
Nokian Tyres Soil King VF is the first tractor tire that utilizes Nokian Tyres Flexforce® VF tire technology. With this cutting-edge tire technology, Nokian Tyres has once again demonstrated that tire technology does have a vital role in optimizing tractor performance. It enables more efficient agricultural work by creating an XXL-sized ground contact and by reducing the loss of power.
Nokian Tyres Soil King VF has been tested by the highly regarded DLG, or Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft. The comparison against other premium agricultural VF tires proved its best-in-class performance in field and transport work with lower wheel slip and fuel consumption as well as a larger treated area per hour
