BKT Implement I-1 16.5L-16.1 E/10PR

Description

The BKT Implement I-1 16.5L-16.1 E/10PR is a specialized farm implement tire, not a tire for typical on-road commercial vehicles or passenger cars.

BKT Implement I-1 16.5L-16.1 E/10PR

This tire is part of BKT’s I-1 (Implement) series, specifically designed for agricultural machinery and trailers.

Key Specifications:

• Size: 19L-16.1
  • 19: Indicates the approximate section width (in inches).
  • L: Denotes a low section profile, common for implement tires to provide flotation.
  • 16.1: Refers to the rim diameter (in inches).
• Ply Rating: 10 ply (or Load Range E). This indicates a strong construction capable of handling heavy loads.
• Type: TL (Tubeless). While designed to be tubeless, it can often be used with a tube if desired or required by the rim.
• Construction: Primarily Bias-ply construction, which is common for implement tires to provide stability under heavy loads and resistance to sidewall damage.
• Tread Pattern: Multi-rib design. This type of tread is engineered for:
  • High Flotation: Spreads the weight over a larger contact area to minimize soil compaction, which is crucial in agricultural fields.
  • High Load Capacity: Designed to carry significant weight, essential for implements and trailers.
  • Low Inflation Pressures: Achieves its load capacity with relatively low air pressure, further contributing to flotation and reduced soil disturbance.
• Performance Characteristics:
  • Suitable for both on-road and off-road use, making it versatile for moving equipment between fields and on public roads.
  • Optimizes travel times due to its design.
  • Ensures a long service life, even in harsh conditions or fields with stubble.
  • Reduces soil compaction in the field and helps avoid damage to crops due to its flotation capabilities.

Typical Applications/Machinery:

The BKT Implement I-1 16.5L-16.1 E/10PR tire is specifically used on:

• Farm Implements: This is the primary application. This includes a wide range of towed or mounted agricultural machinery such as:
  • Trailers (grain carts, hay wagons, liquid manure tankers)
  • Planters
  • Cultivators
  • Harvesters (non-driven axles)
  • Other towed agricultural equipment
• Agricultural Trailers: For transporting crops, feed, or equipment.
