Belshina Bel-144 — a tire for tractors operating in various fields of activity. The model is distinguished by a rational resource-saving due to the conversion of the weight of the equipment not into destruction, but into traction and productivity.
Engineering Solutions
The design is based on the principle of maximum contact patch. The radial carcass and optimized tread geometry allow the model to be operated at a pressure of only 1.6 atmospheres. The result is that the pressure on the soil is reduced to agronomically safe values. Instead of a plow sole, you get loose, breathing soil where the root system develops actively.
In the standard configuration, the tractor spends up to 15% of fuel not on movement, but on overcoming rolling resistance and senseless wheel spinning. The tire, due to its width and aggressive tread pattern, provides excellent traction. Therefore, energy is transferred not into heating the ground, but into the progressive movement of the vehicle.
Traction Potential and Performance
The increased support surface allows the equipment to be aggregated with heavier and wider-span tools. The radial design is not only about field conditions. Unlike diagonal analogs, the tire dampens vibrations when moving on asphalt. The transportation of equipment between fields ceases to be a test for the tractor's suspension.
Main Features of Belshina Bel-144:
- the possibility of operation at a pressure close to atmospheric, to minimize the compaction effect on the arable horizon;
- a wide-profile design evenly distributes the weight of the tractor over the surface, preventing deep ruts;
- a radial-type design provides reduced air flow resistance, fuel economy, and increased comfort for the operator;
- the tread pattern is designed for self-cleaning from soil and implementing maximum traction effort on stubble and wet soil.
