Continental strengthens its presence in the international large tractors business

TractorMaster and Tractor85: All-rounders for the tractors and the farmers work
With the TractorMaster and Tractor85, Continental has versatile agricultural tires in its portfolio. Thanks to the d.fine lug technology, the lug surface is larger than standard tires. A high lug overlap leads to smooth driving behavior and less vibration. In addition, thanks to the N.flex technology, the tires have a high degree of dimensional stability and clash resistance, which enable the tires to adapt to uneven ground.
“The agricultural tires TractorMaster and Tractor85 are ideally suited for use on different soil conditions. Thanks to the flexible nylon carcass, they provide the farmer with the best possible support in his work, whether on the field or on the road”, says Jens Mund, Key Account Manager for agricultural tire original equipment at Continental Commercial Specialty Tires.
