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.

Everyone who attended were given an 8 page booklet to accompany the evening & to act as a reminder of what was discussed during the event. there was a buffet too wwhich was very popular too.

Ian Whitwell (Michelin) giving a talk to Lincolnshire Young Farmers about all aspects of Agricultural tyres at Bush Tyres

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.
