BEI-UNI) THE WI-IEEL # [S) Christian Mhlhausen LONG FIELDS, LONG D\\YS Sometimes you have to put in extremely long working hours, S especially in the hay-making season. This fact is very familiar to Fokko Janssen, who works in the contracting business owned by his brother Johann Janssen. Fokko Janssen drives a Fendt 936 Vario with a hefty 360 hp. Such strong power is needed to transport the kinds of loads the contractors haul. The Fendt pulls a Bergmann HTW 65 Vario Six forage trailer that fits loads as big as 65 cubic metres. This combination is very demanding on the tyres. The tyres must...

Plfli-llj HEAVY Contents Boost from creative ideas Appreciated by customers, good for the environment We asked Product Development Manager Martti Paivinen about the most important environmental factors taken into account in Nokian Heavy Tyres' product development. The features appreciated by customers are also good for the environment: the lighter the tyre rolls, the lower the fuel consumption and, consequently, the lower the overall operating costs. Thanks to a low contact pressure, the tyre is gentle on the terrain and saves bottom flora. The rubͭber compounds, treads and structures of...

KEEP GrOINCC. KEEP GrOINGC! When you can no longer keep going, let it be. Creativity can flourish even - and especially - in your free time. When your mind is at rest, the pieces may snap into place just like that. Fishing is relaxing and mind-stimulating. "On fishing trips, the hooks of your lures often get tangled with something during transportation. You can easily protect your small lures by placing them into empty vitamin boxes, and the packages of effervescent tablets are great for big, narrow lures. This way, you may be reeling in your first catch while your fishing buddy is still...

STAKT Nordman now also available for container handling machines winter properties, the block-patterned Nokian TRI 2 proved to have the best traction on packed snow, regardless of the tyre pressure, outperfor-ming four rib-patterned tyres. It demonstrated 15 percent better traction than the best rib-pat-terned tyre. Reducing tyre pressure to the lowest recommended level even further enhanced its traction ability. The test drives were performed in a temperature of approximately 15 degrees Celsius below zero, and some of them were driven at night in order to minimise the impact of daily...

START Information Systems boosted - for the customer New movie star: BEYOND ALL-STEEL RADIAL Nokian Heavy Tyres is implementing several information system development projects that aim at enabling even faster, more versatile customer service. Sales Planning Manager Paivi Tuominen wants to particularly mention the Product Tool Box: "The Tool Box contains various kinds of product information that can be accessed using customer-specific login IDs. In addition, customers can see new products that will be taken into the selection, as well as those that will be withdrawn from sales, for example,...

A German farmer may not harvest his hay himself. Many outdoor tasks from sowing to harvesting and plant protection can be outsourced. German farms seek growth through new practices Agricultural supply chains are getting longer. For example, a German farmer can purchase harvesting services from an external contractor, who in turn leases a tractor from a machinery rental company. Businesses apply creative means to adjust to the rapidly moving development trends. renewable energy sources benefits Janssen, not only as an energy generator but also as a service provider. In the mid-1990s, this...

Tractor leasing increases flexibility in farming It all started with two Fendt 515 tractors. With this machine base, Heiko Abel started his agricultural machine rental business called AH-Agrarmaschinenvermietung in Wildeshau-sen, near Bremen in northern Germany in 1999. H eiko Abel has a degree in information science. Looking for new fields of business, he accidentally came across the farming industry. He started thinking that almost anything could be leased - why not agricultural machinery as well. This idea was backed by the fact that many farms use their tractors less than the 800 hours...

IIEAVY INNOVATIONS Technology, fuel and tyres facing challenges Future, here we come! Vision of busy ants "There will never be enough energy to let it go to waste. The structure and transmission of tractors and other heavy-duty machines must account for the development," says Pekka Ingalsuo, Manager, Product Management, Valtra. kind of a mechanism in order to reduce contact pressure and increase traction grip. "I am rather convinced that something like this will be required in the future. The current trend is that tyres keep getting bigger and wider, which is helpful on the field but a bad...

HEAVY DOCTOR important when using tracks with a side link (see picture). Seasonal temperature compensation should, therefore, also be taken into account. Low tyre pressure has a major impact on the service life of the tube. Continuous abrasion takes place between the tyre and tube, because the tyre sidewalls give in when rolling under a load. The lower the tyre pressure in proportion to the load, the heavier this abrasion is. In practice, this means that the tube wears, i.e. becomes thinner, and starts to leak air between the tyre and tube. Low tyre pressure with tracks increases abrasion...
