Conquering Compaction with the Push of a Button
Depending on cropping systems and climate, every no-tiller has different equipment. But tires are used by everyone, and those tires can have a huge impact on soil compaction and yield. Ken Brodbeck, an ag tire engineer with over 35 years of experience and current vice president of technology for Precision Inflation, dives into everything no-tillers should know about new tire technology, including the ins and outs of central tire inflation systems (CTIS). Brodbeck shares decades’ worth of data showing how tire pressure affects soil health, yield and fuel economy and discusses why farmers in Europe have been changing tire pressure on the go for over 30 years.
