Lincolnshire Young Farmers Agricultural Tyre Evening at Bush Tyres
Article written by Bush TyresBush Tyres, Horncastle, held an Agricultural Tyre Evening for Lincolnshire Young Farmers on Thursday (17/10/19)
The evening started off with a welcome message from Brett Mayhew (Bush Tyres) before introducing Michelin‘s representative, Ian Whitwell, who did a stirling job explaining the following tyre related subjects:
- tyre sidewall markings & dimensions,
- choosing the right tyre to match the power of a tractor,
- Michelin’s Very High Flexion (VF) tyres,
- Soil protection,
- Tractor load balancing calculations,
- How to set tyre pressures without the use of a tyre pressure gauge.
Chris Kelly & Matt Smith (both from Bush Tyres) along with Ian demonstrated
what is involved with a tractor wheel alignment as well as explaining the benefits
of an alignment.
Quick fact: Did you know that if your tractor wheel alignmnet is out by only 5% you could have a decrease in fuel economy by up to 12%
This event turned out to be a very successful evening for all involved & Bush Tyres would like to thank Ian, from Michelin, who kindly donated his time to help, & everyone from LYF who came to make this one of the best attended nights so far.

This purposeful looking Isuzu D-Max Yukon “double cab” visited Spalding recently for a full four wheel alignment setup. This 4x4 is now ready for whatever life throws at it. A trip to the shops, an urgent dash to the timber yard, or drive through the Lincolnshire countryside.
This custom Ford Transit visited our Grimsby depot for four new Kumho Extra Load tyres. Learn more about the importance of fitting the correct load rated tyres to your vehicle in our latest news here
