New rowcrop sizes for root crop and general purpose work

Following years of asking manufacturers, BWT is now the exclusive distributor for a 420/80R50 rowcrop tyre.

The result of a close collaboration between BKT and Brocks Wheel & Tyre, this tyre has a higher load rating than standard, and steel belted construction, enabling it to be used for the heaviest planters, spreader, trailers and toppers in a size that will suit the popular 150-200hp category.

The tyre is the widest tyre that can fit down a potato furrow, making it perfect for all potato applications, BWT explains. “This tyre has been a while coming, but we already have a significant quantity sold and in our order books for next year. The great technical characteristics in a brand as well-known as BKT makes a winning combination,” says Will Brock, director at Brocks Wheel & Tyre Ltd.

The key features include compatibility with interaxle ratios of most popular model tractors, high loading on both the rear tyres and the matching 420/90R30 front tyre, a high speed rating and an eight-year warranty.

“Initial feedback from the market has been impressive, and we are advising customer to speak to us early about how these tyres can bring benefit to their operations,” says Will.

“BWT are known for their advice and expertise, and we love having conversations about optimising tractors and wheel sets which is where we seem to bring the greatest value,” he adds.

The rowcrop tyre will be on display at LAMMA 2025.
