MAXAM Tire is proud to announce that its AgriXtra XL VF and Standard Radial R-1W agricultural tires have been awarded the prestigious “DLG Approved” quality seal by the German Agricultural Society’s (DLG) independent testing institute. This recognition underscores MAXAM’s commitment to delivering high-value, high-performance solutions for the agricultural sector.

In recent comparative tests conducted by DLG in Germany, the AgriXtra XL tires delivered three critical advantages over leading competitors:

Reduced Soil Compaction: Field tests demonstrated that the MAXAM AgriXtra XL VF710/70R42 tires left the smallest track depth of just 7.3 cm at an inflation pressure of 0.6 bar (9 psi), indicating minimal soil disturbance and promoting better soil health.
Greater Fuel Savings: Laboratory dynamometer tests revealed that both the AgriXtra XL Standard and VF tires outperformed other brands in fuel efficiency, offering significant cost savings and environmental benefits.
Improved Traction: The tires achieved higher tractive forces with reduced slip rates in field tests, enhancing operational efficiency and productivity.

“Our tires delivered critical advantages during the comparative testing, earning them the DLG Seal of Approval,” said Greg Gilland, Vice president of Global Agriculture at MAXAM. “This confirms that we offer a superior product that delivers exceptional value on all comparative measures at a more competitive price.”

The AgriXtra XL series is specifically designed for high-horsepower tractors and harvesters. The VF (Very High Flexion) tires provide up to 40% higher load capacity or can operate at 40% lower air pressure without compromising speed or performance. This flexibility allows farmers to reduce soil compaction and improve fuel efficiency, directly contributing to increased productivity and sustainability.

“By reducing soil compaction, enhancing fuel savings, and improving traction, our AgriXtra XL tires help farmers achieve greater profitability while promoting sustainable farming practices,” added Gilland.

MAXAM continues to leverage its extensive expertise to innovate and expand its agricultural tire offerings. These proven results also provide OEMs with the confidence to partner with MAXAM, assured that our tires meet and exceed industry performance standards. The company is committed to meeting the evolving demands of modern agriculture by developing products that enhance performance and deliver unmatched value.
