DEMO: Mitas Displays PneuTrac Tire Concept

These demonstrations took place in the demo area of the grounds of the 2015 Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Ill.

[@randymagnum143]

How long will they last before all that deformation results in fatigue and failure of the tire material?

[@Ancalim]

What about getting stuck in mud? That empty space between the track and rim will fill up with mud, and gonna have you sucked down pretty good. Were those tyres tested for how they perform while the tractor is stuck?

[@MitasAgri]

+Ancalim We tested Mitas PneuTrac in various conditions and in factthey are performing very well in the muddy conditions thanks to the larger footprint. Larger contact area with the ground means lower chance getting stuck in the mud. Self-cleaning properties are good and we didn’t have a problem with mud getting stuck between the track and the rim. It gets off the tyre while it is moving thanks to the centrifugal force and specific shape of the tyre/track. It is quite difficult to describe it in words and as soon as we will have a video proving that we will release it.

[@dhansel4835]

I wonder how long these tires will wear with the flexing system they have? I guess time will tell.

[@Gimblevalve]

Sure hope you can send them in for a re-mould given how much more they must cost

[@mid9ightwalker]

Looks great, but how about fuel efficiency?

[@MrSnyper360]

What is their weight rating can they be put on your heavy tillage tractor and withstand the weight of the equipment attached. They squat quite a bit with just the tractor. I like the idea compared to say fendt variogrip system with the airlines running everywhere. But there is also no variability. It seems like they went maximum grip while sacrificing load capacity.

[@cineminded]

I wonder what the tire pressure is on the tractor with regular tiires

[@973motoguy8]

Jarno Grooten probably like 80psi haha

[@michaelkey8424]

Considering there wasn't much give over the posts I would estimate around 30psi which is about 12 too much for most tractors as the recommended is 18psi for the rears and usually 24 psi for the fronts and I know from experience on those larger Case tractors makes the tires look like they are half flat when they are properly inflated.

[@wiky5]

my tires are filled at about 14 psi, so they must have much less. Bigger tires require lower psi for the same weight

[@973motoguy8]

wiky5 i under stand that, i was saying 80psi, because they probably pumped them up so it wouldn't dig as much lol

[@cineminded]

exactly :)

[@levettp]

Why not let the 2 tractors pull against each other?

[@wabuminifarm3437]

where can I buy these tires for my small tractor?

[@dakotaswanson5488]

It seems like a good idea but if you hit something in the field like a rock or stump there's a pretty good chance that you are going to damage the rim

do you need new wheels for these tyres ?

i wonder how they stand up against the new low sidewall tires they look really sweet

[@gruffmorris9098]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that just looks like running around on flat tyres with a slightly different rim profile? Where's the new technology that you are using? If I get stuck I let the air out of the tyres and achieve the same effect.

[@calvinh.8882]

When they were trying to show which one pulled better, why didn't they just hook both tractors together and let them pull each other? That tells the teil.

[@djidroneuser5271]

what happens when the tractor lifts a really heavy implement on the 3 point hitch or two round bales on the loader?

[@shoo4639]

right pressure according to applicationThe same as will happen in any tire i.e. Tire has to be inflated to the

[@djidroneuser5271]

how do you set the pressure?

[@shoo4639]

the same way you set the pressure of any tire. but...for standard tire in order to set the right pressure you need to know the actual load on the tire then set it according to the index book while with these tire you can simply judge it by the gap in the sidewall 'V' shape slit

[@shoo4639]

the same way you do with a standard tire, each tire has to be inflated to a pressure according to operation condition, it is the same with Pneutrac (Galileo Wheel) only the range and level of deflection is such that for every given application you will have bigger deflection i.e. bigger footprint and higher draw bar and less soil compaction.

[@datbomb98]

They simulated that weight with 2 500lb weights on the rear lift I still personally wouldn't like these tires we had them on a skis steer and they would get flat spots in them and ride like shit

[@flhusa1]

do you lose any ground clearance at all?

[@galileowheelcupwheel9216]

Galileo is now independent and will show its tire in FarmProgress 2019 show under CupWheel brand. We will show 710/70CW42 on CLAAS XERION and 12-16.5 on Skid Steer. Going back to the comments I see questions about durability, slops, fuel etc. and will slowly answer all of them

[@wcresponder]

how's the cost difference?

[@tris3050]

Anybody else notice that on the tractor pull the standard tyre tractor stays fairly level whilst pulling but the pneutrac is bouncing like a bunny. That's gonna be fun driving that all day with a load on. Yes it would help to weigh it down but not on a heavy straight pull

[@PlzDontKillDave]

Really.. i saw both doing the same bounce during that pull.

[@j.j.swanepoel9918]

Yeah they both bouncing lol

[@robboat3864]

Both where bouncing but the pneutrac bounced a hell of alot more. IMHO

[@Philm88]

the closest you will get to a track machine with a tire machine... brilliant I just wonder how many hours you can get with that New tire setup. seems like a lot of flex in the rubber could make premature failure

[@thersaholycow]

Look at all that wheel weight you loose by not having a tire you can fill with washer fluid! That's a couple hundred lbs of extra traction. My farm is all hillside, I need that weight to keep my tractor upright.

[@goatnuts12]

sure looks like it has a lot of buck during the pull

[@jamesfl1968]

I saw that too, power hopping.

[@therealturdferguson8355]

jamesfl1968 yeah for sure power hopping. I would guess that it was in a higher gear and that’s why it slowly pulled ahead and causing the power hop as well. Cheers from Arkansas

[@daltonphillips6778]

so can I just drive around on a flat tire then? it's the same principle

[@unknownunknowns]

Dalton Phillips That's because that technology only works on lighter vehicles, not heavy ones like the tractor.

[@butlerproman]

Flat tires flex differently, often caving in the middle giving you a less efficient contact patch and placing stresses on the sidewalls.

[@Grabatire]

I wonder how that tire would behave at 30 below zero.

[@makingithappen9722]

Also how it is with the wear and how it works with snow chains.

[@galileowheelcupwheel9216]

As for durability - on drum test high load (150% of required ISO test) we gain 300h which is 400% better than the required running time. Our tread wear-out is better by 20% than a premium brand and 40% from a mid market brand.

[@Kcducttaper1]

How is this different from simply airing down?

[@rampage3337]

well this costs more :) thats the difarance. these are allways gripy and never fuel eficient and will always grind away rubber like a 18year old boy whit his first car. when you air down a tire you can put air back and make it fuel efficient again xD these tires you cant air upp so non fuel efficient

[@shoo4639]

it will give you much better traction and wont destroy the tire' better ride comfort and will keep all lateral stability

[@shoo4639]

you you don't loose lateral stability you dont destroy the tire no buckling under the tread check out www.galileowheel.com

So I have to say that pneu is the French word for tire. The p is pronounced out loud and the rest is proounced new, not no, so it is P-new, not p-no. Full english translation is tire trac, in French it is pneu trac.

Give me some flat tires and I can go over logs pretty smooth too.

Where did this concept go ? Hum ...

[@RJ1999x]

The bad thing about this demo is it could easily be rigged. But not being there it's hard to say which is better

[@crustydownunder]

The saying goes like this, "The proof of the pudding, is in the eating ". Which means, don't tell me it's a great pudding, let me eat it and I'll tell you whether it's a great pudding or not. The real value of something can be judged only from practical experience or results and not from appearance or theory.

[@randymagnum143]

New-trac sounds better than no-trac. We don't use no-matic tires

it's not pronounced peneo track. it's "new track"

[@p.o2697]

I have to study, idk why i seing this

Looks like a nightmare to take off the rim to fix punctures.

[@RememberTheSlapFilms]

_"The proof of the pudding is in the eating"_

[@devengossi2567]

So they invented a tire that acts exactly like a normal tire if that normal tire had way less air in it?

[@evanwickman9455]

Wouldn't that wreck the tire

[@eformance]

If you pronounce it like it's written, is NEWTRAC, not P-NOTRAC.

[@Randy-uh8wd]

Nope you got it wrong as well. It is P-new trac. This is the french word for tire. The p is pronounced out loud so it is P-new. The narator of the demonstration was pronouncing this french spelling, p-nau. which is not even a word. But au is pronounced o in French.

[@acortez3195]

By this pronunciation, pneumonia is p-noumonia. Bruh. It's newtrak.

[@waynerainey2606]

Yep, pretty ridiculous that their own product rep can't pronounce his own product! pa'no track lol.

[@Randy-uh8wd]

Nope it is a french word that means tire. it is infact pronounced p-new. Not p-no. You are correct in both french and english in regard to pneumonia, however. So for the illness the p is not pronounced. But for a tire the p is pronounced.

[@nrs91]

@@Randy-uh8wd the pneu prefix for tyre comes from the same place as for pneumonia... to do with air/wind... but yes im also annoyed KZbin has shown me a video from 2015 where the guy cant even pronounce his product properly

[@davidtosh7200]

Tractors has flat on the bottom. Maybe the farmer ran over the big nails or something that ends up with a flat tires.

[@galileowheelcupwheel9216]

as for fuel efficiency - on road: in cursing we measured (by leading OE) 7% more fuel on road when going up gears 10% less fuel so total road fuel consumption depends on specific routing. Off Road full consumption depends on soil in a sandy soil you can expect up to 40% better traction and fuel economy

[@Lewiseyers]

Looks like the side walls will wear out fast and fail, with the constant flexing to me

[@dcw1540]

Looks like power hope.

[@jobanrandhawa7167]

But, i think these type of tyres need more power as compare to ordinary tyres because of its flat surface.

[@shoo4639]

but on the field they sink less therefore less rolling resistance

[@krrrruptidsoless]

I don't know about all the test being practical because tires are making contact with dirt. They should stick to selling the ability to withstand punctures. Which they didn't do. What kind of destruction can these tires go through before you have to replace them. That's the only real selling point

[@michaelovitch]

This system will only be efficient on dirt where the thread can sink in the soil and allow the smooth par of the tire to touch the soil. Otherwise there is no benefit to use a bigger footprint if only the thread itself touch the ground,like on a compacted dirt road or asphalt. if you want to reduce ground pressure you need to increase the surface touching the ground,so the whoe tire,not only the thread. it's only for soft soil,otherwise ,no point at all.

[@johnsomerset1510]

This is ridiculous. It's simple and cheaper to let air out of your tyres in boggy areas where you need to increase your footprint and then re-inflate them for harder ground use. Many vehicles, like Russian military vehicles, do it on the move, at the flick of a switch!.

Radials are simply an improvement to an already existing good technology that allows increased weight capacity and stability however running these airless tires is a complete reinvention of tire technology. You should think about that before attempting to make a smart ass comment.

[@2010Zanoza2]

New tires has much worse stabilization than old ones as we see in this movie.

[@brada1997]

Looks like they finally designed a tire to be run aired down and not destroy itself, much like off-roaders do and good off-road truck tires are designed to do. They are designed to be run slow with lots of sidewall flex. If you run a truck tire aired down at highway speeds long, you will destroy it because of heat caused by all the flex. Tractors will never do that. I would imagine they designed the sidewall to handle the flex of being run near-flat as well as the flex from the torque of pulling. It drives me craze how he calls them "peno track" instead of "new" track. I would hope it's not because he's an idiot and is actually because the corporate heads are idiots saying they are called that....a "marketing gimmick."

[@southernwulf530]

Yes this may increase fuel efficiency and lower the payment in fuel but ur sticking that right back into new tires because I bet these cost twice as much as a normal tires.....
