Ag Rubber Tracks From Firestone

Firestone Farm Tires, a division of Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC announced the addition of Firestone- branded agricultural rubber tracks to the Firestone Farm Tires product portfolio. The introduction of tracks solidifies the company’s commitment to the North American farmer.

New Firestone tracks for high-horsepower tracked tractors deliver performance and durability. Notable features of Firestone agricultural rubber tracks include: vulcanized lugs made of wear-resistant rubber compound for added durability; high-performance steel cables offering a precise balance of tensile strength and flexibility for exceptional durability; cut-resistant rubber compounds vulcanized as one piece with a seamless molded radius which enables the tread bars to remain steadfast to the rubber track.

Firestone tracks are available in three design options: All Traction Class 4 provides excellent ride comfort and high traction with more ground contact points; All Traction Class 5 provides excellent ride comfort and high traction with more ground contact area; and All Traction Class 6 provides better mud release and is suitable for softer soil conditions. Firestone agricultural tracks come with a warranty program of four years or 4,000 hours.
