Building on its reputation as a challenger brand in the off-highway tyre market, Ascenso Tyres continues to exceed farmer expectations with its recently launched VHR 3000, the latest addition to its Very High Flexion (VF) product line.
VHR 3000 – the new benchmark for harvesting efficiency
Ascenso’s latest, state-of-the-art VF tyre VHR 3000 is now available to farmers worldwide. Specifically designed for harvesters, spreaders, sprayers, combine harvesters, and grain carts, this tyre sets new industry standards in terms of both efficiency and performance in many farming tasks.
“The VHR 3000 has a number of special features. starting from the VF technology and its great flexion capacity. The tyre is also optimised for cyclic field operations (CFO) and has a unique design,” says Dhaval Nanavati, CEO of Ascenso Tyres.
Indeed, the tyre – which like all VF tyres made of an SSR compound – features a dual-angle lug design and strong shoulders with a higher draft angle in addition to a reinforced steel-belted casing. Moreover, the special mud ejecting technology provides excellent self-cleaning properties.
“All these features make VHR 3000 a great tyre that ensures great traction, stability, high load capacity, durability and resistance, maintaining peak performance even during challenging tasks in the fields or in muddy conditions,” states Mr. Nanavati. “And – here comes the best – thanks to the VF technology and its larger contact area at low inflation pressures, VHR 3000 greatly preserves the soil structure, making it a truly next-generation solution for modern farmers.”
Comprehensive VF tyre range
Ascenso’s latest VF product line includes a range of patterns tailored to diverse agricultural needs.
The VDR 2000, ideal for tractors and sprayers, offers superior grip, stability, and durability. It is available in wide sizes like VF 710/70R42 and VF 800/70R38, ensuring maximum flotation and stability in wet conditions.
For self-propelled sprayers and inter-row operations, the VDR 900 features narrow-row crop sizes and steel belts for puncture resistance and is optimised for large-scale farming.
The VDR 901 offers a hybrid tread pattern with a high rubber-to-void ratio for enhanced roadability and durability. It is particularly suitable for self-propelled sprayer machinery operating across different terrains and for transport operations on hard surfaces.
The VIR 2500, instead, is a specialised implement tyre designed to improve steering capability and lateral traction, reducing soil shearing with loaded implements.
First-class VF technology for great performance and sustainable farming
All Ascenso products belonging to the VF tyre range are built for superior performance, incorporating advanced technology. Their wider footprints reduce soil stress while improving traction, and unique mud breakers ensure excellent self-cleaning in wet conditions.
Thanks to Ascenso’s advanced VF technology, these tyres can carry up to 40% more load or operate at 40% lower pressure than standard radials, reducing trips and preserving soil health. The extra-strong casings feature high-performance steel belts, reinforced sidewalls and bead zones providing excellent strength, resistance, and durability, while the Special Stubble Resistant (SSR) compound protects against cuts and wear including stubble resistance in the fields.
“Our VF tyres are designed to go beyond expectations,” says Mr. Nanavati. “They combine advanced VF technology with versatility to help farmers protect their soil. They are very cost- effective, when it comes to operating costs and fuel efficiency, but they are also strong and durable and improve productivity.”
Real-world benefits across agricultural tasks
These features translate into tangible benefits across various agricultural tasks. In tractor applications, the VDR 2000’s oval footprint maintains stability during spring cultivation, preventing rut formation in marginal conditions.
For sprayers, the VDR 900 maintains low pressure throughout spraying cycles, crucial for preserving seedbed quality. During harvesting, VF technology prevents subsoil compaction even with fully loaded grain tanks, while the VIR 2500’s design reduces soil shearing when manoeuvring loaded implements.
Crop-specific advantages
Ascenso’s VF tyres also offer crop-specific advantages. For cereals, the VDR 2000’s wide footprint prevents subsoil compaction during combine harvesting. In root crop cultivation, the VDR 901 provides precise flotation for harvesters in soft soils.
The VIR 2500 maintains optimal soil structure for legumes, while the VDR 900’s narrow profile allows access between vine rows without soil damage. For wetland crops, the VDR 2000 maintains traction in paddies without rutting.
Expanding range and global availability
With plans to release additional 59 sizes soon, Ascenso continues to expand its VF tyre range to meet the evolving needs of farmers, ensuring the best solutions for modern agriculture.
The company’s growing dealer network across North America, Europe, Asia, and other regions ensures farmers worldwide can easily access these innovative products, backed by local expertise.
