Tyres that offer improved yields and reduced soil stress
5th January 2026
Ascenso Tyres designs, manufactures and engineers tyres for hard working machinery that must perform over a number of challenging terrains and environments.
Ascenso Tyres produces tyres for tractors, sprayers, combine harvesters, farm trailers, material handlers and industrial loaders. Across its range of tyres, the company can cater for various main off-road sectors:
- Agriculture
- Industrial and construction
- Material handling
- Earth mover
- Forestry.
Ascenso says it understands that efficiency is key to your business’ success, and choice of tyre plays a particularly significant role in that. This is why it spends hundreds of hours testing and evaluating its tyres before they go into production – so that when you need them to perform, they will not let you down.
Modern tyre design and technology have led to several major breakthroughs. Very High Flexion Tyres or VF tyres top the list of major tyre innovations. The company produces the VDR900, VDR901, VDR2000, VIR2500 and the VHR3000 VF tyres.
VF tyres are engineered to operate at much lower inflation pressures than standard non-VF tyres. The use of low-pressure VF tyres has many significant advantages. High load capacity, low-pressure VF tyres have flexible yet robust casings capable of carrying heavy loads, allowing the use of larger sprayer tanks and wider booms.
Working at pressures as low as 0.8 bar, VF tyres help avoid soil compaction and the formation of ruts during soil preparation. VF tyres do not require pressure adjustments during cyclic operations and can operate at the same inflation pressure with a full or empty sprayer tank.
Standard non-VF tyres are not suitable for spraying during the wet season, as compaction to the lower layers of soil will be significant and it will then be necessary to repair the damaged soil.
You can avoid these additional costs and loss of time with the use of tyres more suitable for spraying in wet conditions. The effect of a low-pressure VF tyre working at 0.8 bar will be very different from that of a standard tyre which will require inflating to at least 1.6 bar to carry the thousands of litres of liquid transported in the sprayer tank, or more if the sprayer is equipped with wide booms.
The Ascenso VDR900 VF tyres comes in a range of sizes and widths which are suitable for self-propelled sprayers, trailed sprayers and tractors. Featuring an advanced tread design, the footprint is extended front to rear (in an oval shape), within the committed trackway of the tyre therefore achieving a larger footprint.
The VDR 900 reduces soil stress and soil compaction at the same time offering improved yields. Reducing environmental impact whilst maximising crop yield is surely a win-win.
