Mitas HC2000 range now features PFO technology. This tech increases load capacity and reduces soil compaction for improved field performance at lower pressures.
Innovating Agriculture with Mitas PFO Technology
Mitas announces the introduction of PFO (Pressure Field Operation) technology in its HC2000 VF tyre range, designed for high-horsepower tractors, fast-moving tractors, sprayers, and spreaders. The introduction of PFO technology, which significantly enhances tyre performance in the field, is an important milestone for Mitas. It reinforces its commitment to providing effective, reliable, and best-in-class solutions for the agricultural industry.
PFO technology is designed to enhance performance during demanding field operations by allowing the tyre to carry heavier loads than VF tyres at the same low pressures. This results in a larger tyre footprint, improving flotation and reducing soil compaction. By working at reduced tyre pressures, the HC2000 tyres with PFO technology ensure that the same load is carried while minimising damage to the soil structure.
This helps preserve the long-term health of the land, boosting agricultural sustainability and improving soil quality for future crops. In comparison to standard tyres, the benefits of PFO technology are even more significant. It reduces tyre pressure without compromising load capacity, ensuring superior performance in tough conditions.
Increased Efficiency
The advantages of PFO technology extend beyond increasing load capacity. It enables farmers to achieve better efficiency and traction in challenging conditions. This is particularly at low working speeds (5-15 km/h), where high torque and heavy loads are common.
By incorporating this technology into its tyres, Mitas continues to follow its customer-focused approach. This prioritises the support and needs of agricultural professionals.
“We are thrilled to bring PFO technology to our HC2000 tyre range,” said Roberta D’Agnano, Global Brand Director Mitas at Yokohama TWS.
“This development highlights our dedication to providing effective solutions delivering high performance, positioning Mitas as a trusted partner for the daily challenges.”
The Mitas HC2000 with PFO technology is available in the VF 600/70R30 PFO and VF 710/70R42 PFO sizes. Additional sizes will follow later in the year.
