I. Introduction
In today's demanding agricultural environment, specialized tires are critical components that directly impact productivity, fuel efficiency, and soil preservation. As a leading global tire manufacturer, KUNLUN Tires is committed to delivering innovative solutions for agriculture. The KT179 and KT181 agricultural radial tires are designed precisely for this purpose. Combining reliability and high performance, they meet the stringent requirements of modern farms. Built with durability, advanced technology, and practical design, these tires deliver outstanding performance across all terrains and conditions. The KT179 and KT181 are essential tools for farmers aiming to enhance efficiency while protecting the land—agriculture's most vital resource.
II. KT179/KT181: Engineered for the Heart of Agriculture
As the foundation of modern farming, tyres must transform engine power into productive action while protecting the soil. The KT179 and KT181 radial agricultural tyres are purpose-engineered for this dual mission, embodying resilience and intelligence for agriculture's core tasks.
Primary Application Focus:
The KT179 is a premier radial tractor tire, optimised for high-horsepower tractors undertaking primary tillage, seeding, and heavy draft work. It is the definitive workhorse for main field operations, built to deliver consistent, powerful traction. Choosing the correct radial tyre for tractor applications is key to efficiency, and the KT179 is engineered to meet that need.
Its counterpart, the KT181, is designed specifically for combine harvesters and high-capacity grain carts. It excels in providing essential stability, traction, and superior flotation during the critical, time-sensitive harvest season.
Unified Mission:
Both models share a core design philosophy: to ensure maximum power transmission to the ground, significantly reduce harmful soil compaction, and provide unwavering durability under the most demanding conditions. From breaking ground to gathering the harvest, the KT179 and KT181 radial ag tires are engineered to support every critical step in the cycle of cultivation. The durability of these radial ag tires ensures season-after-season performance.
