The Effects of Agricultural Tire Technologies on Soil Compaction, Traction Performance and Agricultural Productivity

This review article examines the impact of agricultural tire technologies on soil compaction, traction performance, and agricultural productivity. Topics such as the stress distribution of low-inflation pressure tires on soil, the effects of tire profiles on performance and soil compaction are discussed in depth. Moreover, the impact of tires on traction and soil compaction under different inflation pressures is explored. A thorough analysis of the existing literature reveals significant contributions to improving the efficiency of agricultural tires and reducing the risk of soil compaction. The findings reveal that low-inflation pressure next-generation tires (IF/VF tires) significantly reduce soil compaction by providing a larger contact area. Furthermore, it was concluded that selecting the appropriate inflation pressure and load distribution is critical for optimizing traction and energy efficiency. This review provides valuable insights for future studies and contributes to sustainable agricultural practices.
