Tyre manufacturer MAXAM received the “DLG Approved seal of quality” from the German Agricultural Society (DLG) for two of its agricultural tyres. These were recognized for greater fuel savings and better traction results. The VF version was recognized additionally for soil protection, offering overall higher productivity.

The global manufacturer of agricultural and specialty tyres officially received the certificates from DLG Vice President Prof. Till Meinel and Martin Hanstein, Head of Vehicle Technology and Performance Testing at DLG Test Service GmbH, during the recently held international Agritechnica tradeshow in Hanover, Germany.

Last year, the tyres were tested by the DLG Test Center for Technology and Operating Supplies, an independent testing institute, in the field, on the road, and in laboratory tests on a dynamometer. Both the MAXAM AgriXtra XL VF and the standard tyres in sizes 600/70R30 (front axle) and 710/70R42 (rear axle) achieved good results. These results prove that MAXAM delivers high performance in the categories of “resource conservation” (VF product, soil compaction), “fuel economy” (improved productivity) and “traction” (reduced slip rates).

The DLG award confirms MAXAM’s aim to offer optimized product performance through reduced soil compaction, improved traction, and greater fuel savings, as well as added value for farming businesses.

“We are delighted that the independent experts and testers at DLG have confirmed the quality and performance of our tyres. As an integral part of our expansion strategy, we are striving for further growth in our agricultural tyre business.  MAXAM AgriXtra XL products in VF and standard carcass construction are examples of how our technology and engineering can help farmers achieve greater value by efficiently reducing their fuel costs, increasing productivity, and reducing soil compaction (VF). We call that smart performance,” according to Harry Wang, General Manager MAXAM Europe.
